[QUOTE="Stretch_, post: 988677, member: 93138"] Looking into options for Windows, portable on-demand malware scanners, I'm wondering what invasive system interaction they might have. I understand that portable apps do not install, however, I still am unsure what effect running reputable portable scanners might have on a system: phoning home, collecting and communicating system information, registry entries? Having only a novice understanding of the possibilities, what other invasive types of behaviors might portable on-demand scanners have? Lastly, does anyone have a good recommendation for one of these scanners that is definitely non-invasive, and can have its definitions updated by simply downloading the definitions, rather than allowing the program internet access?
