[QUOTE="rndmblk, post: 922205, member: 89746"] I was interested in what the popular period scanners are. I reviewed the 60 most recently updated Computer Security Configuration posts that were classified as Security: Complete. The results are below. Obviously popular doesn't mean the best. I didn't count Windows Defender as I assumed this is installed for all Windows users. I also didn't count if the poster mentioned periodic scans with one of their RTP products [TABLE] [TR] [TD]Application[/TD] [TD]Count[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Hitman Pro[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]27[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Emsisoft Emergency Kit[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]23[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Malwarebytes antimalware[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]17[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Norton Power Eraser (NPE)[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]13[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]AdwCleaner[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]12[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]ESET Online Scanner[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]7[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]None[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]5[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Roguekiller[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]5[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Avira PC Cleaner[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]3[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]3[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Autoruns[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]2[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST)[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]2[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Jrt tool[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]2[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]VirusTotal[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]2[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Zhpcleaner[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]2[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]WiseVector StopX 2[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]2[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]CCE (Comodo)[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]2[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Zemana AM[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]2[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]AVG[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]1[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Bitdefender[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]1[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Desinfec't[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]1[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]1[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]ProcessExplorer[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]1[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]TDSSKiller[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]1[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]WRT[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]1[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Sandblast Agent Advanced (Checkpoint)[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]1[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/QUOTE]
