[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 890259, member: 55987"] McAfee Stinger is a standalone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. It’s not a substitute for full antivirus protection, but a specialized tool to assist administrators and users when dealing with infected system. Stinger utilizes next-generation scan technology, including rootkit scanning, and scan performance optimizations. It detects and removes threats identified under the "Threat List" option under Advanced menu options in the Stinger application. Stinger leverages GTI File Reputation and runs network heuristics at Medium level by default GTI File Reputation provides you with always-on, real-time protection that safeguards and secures you from emerging threats. GTI File Reputation enables you to use the threat intelligence gathered by McAfee Labs to prevent damage and data theft even before a signature update is available. This makes endpoints smarter and safer. GTI File Reputation technology extends the protection capabilities of McAfee products. It does so by providing access to an online cloud database. The database contains file classification details to determine whether a file is malicious. Because the database of malicious file classifications is extensive, and changes frequently, GTI File Reputation queries the online GTI cloud servers about potentially suspicious files. It does so to achieve and maintain the highest security levels. Stinger now also includes Real Protect, which is a real-time behavior detection program that monitors for suspicious activity on the computer. Real Protect uses machine learnings and automated behavioral based classifications in the cloud to detect zero-day infections.
