HitManPro uses the engine of Kaspersky, but only for executables, not for the rest of malware files such as scripts, jar files, office docs, etc... so a complement engine would be welcome...

Do you have a suggestion? Preferably easy & fast to use.

 

[harlan4096]

That's not easy hehe...

EEK for example, but in every update seems a full database is downloaded and then later applied and this process is not fast...

Kaspersky AntiVirus ToolKit is easy, BUT does not have auto update, so You have to download a new build every time, although it uses also KSN...

Another option would be WiseVector with resident modules disabled, as I use in my malware tests in Hub

Eset Online scanner or Dr.Web CureIt maybe? Dr.Web is quite agressive tho..

 

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

What about Norton Power Eraser?

 

[harlan4096]

I use it also in Hub tests, but sometimes tends to have some false positives, because it usually "flags as malware" the unknown files...

AdwCleaner is great for PUP/PUA/Adware... and other threats...

agressive too

EEK is not necessary in a Bitdefender system. Eset Online Scanner is a good choice as it's rich in both malware and PUP detection. The downside is relatively slow scanning speed.

Last option I can think of would be Trend Micro HouseCall. Used it for a long time.

AdwCleaner is great for PUP/PUA/Adware... and other threats...

So, adding AdwCleaner to HitmanPro and Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool would be enough?

 

[Digmor Crusher]

That's the 3 I use, KVT, HitmanPro and AdwCleaner, should be good enough.

 

[harlan4096]

I guess EEK adds a layer of PUP/PUA/Adware detection that BD robably does not have...

 

[Vitali Ortzi]

My
Recommendation is to use only up to 3 scanners
If you want more flash a rescue disk on a flash drive whatever a Linux base or pe environment image

I agree but because of one of the point you made here I think it's worth doing it on a Bitdefender system since we can use other adware specialist like AdwCleaner and also EOS which is one of the best at PUP detections.

Lets just agree on Zemana

Basically three good second opinions can be norton power eraser(this one has very high false positives hit man can be a lower fp alternative ) , kaspersky virus removal tool and adwcleaner

Not much change, but here it is.

Could you link your updated setup to your profile? You still have your 2020 config shown to the public.

 

[FireHammer]

Hi,@SecureKongo, I would very much like to do that, I just dont know how, could you please tell me?

It's in your account details.

Just copy the link of your security config post and paste it in the field called "Computer Security Configuration" in your account details settings. You still got the 2020 config in there
