Does Dr. Web Cureit have a 64-bit edition or does it handle both 32 and 64-bit as is?
What about Process Hacker? Does it have a 64-bit version?

Also, what happens if you try to run a 32-bit malware scanner in a 64-bit environment??

Wonderful.

So what about Dr. Web's on-demand scanner?

I am asking because my son is dealing with an extremely sluggish Windows 7 64-bit Dell as of a few days ago, so I just want to have a few tools ready to rule out some possibilities when I get his laptop.

UVK Ultra Virus Killer (OS: XP, Server 2003, Vista, Server 2008, Windows 7. All 32 or 64 bits.)

.. and MBR scanners which works on 64 bit too .. Our topic MBR check tools: http://malwaretips.com/Thread-MBR-check-tools

Thank you gentlemen.

He ran MBAM and it came up clean, so I will try HitMan Pro. If it finds something and won't remove it I will move on to UVK.


After that, I will check for grayware, and unwanted software running in the background.

Then I will check hardware.
