RE: Universal Virus Sniffer 3.71

Ok, from information i've found it's only for advanced users. It can cause damage if used incorrectly.

F.A.Q.

Q: uVS? What is it?
A: uVS is a powerful antivirus removal tool designed to ease the process of detecting and
eliminating unknown 0-day viruses, rootkits, and bootkits.
It's NOT designed to replace your antivirus!.

Q: Is it really simple?
A: It's really simple, but only for ADVANCED users with GREAT knowledge of Windows registry.
If you are ORDINARY user than use it ONLY under helper's supervision.
It is a VERY SHARP tool and you can accidentally kill your OS.

Q: What about compatibility?
A: Win2k, WinXP x86/x64, Win2k3 x86/x64, Vista x86/x64, Win7 x86/x64,
(!) Windows PE 1.x 64Mb RAM.
(without digital signature checking feature)
(!) Windows PE 2.x-3.x 384mb RAM.
(with digital signature checking feature and with support the offline CatRoot)
You can check offline Windows Seven x64 under Win2k, WinXP (!)x86 only(!), Vista x86/x64, WinPE,
and vice-versa.

Q: Why Virus Base is empty?
A: uVS is a hunting tool, not antivirus! You can fill Virus Base by yourself if needed.

Q: Can I add signature to the Virus Base directly from malware file?
A: Yes. Use file's context menu or "Add signatures button".

How to kill trojans.

(2) Right click on file and select "Copy to Zoo" (if you needed sample of it)

(4) Set name and length of the signature.
(5) Go to (1) and repeat process with next malware.

Even for advanced user this product is extremely complicated.
I guess once you learn how to use it correctly it could be helpful.
But I can find other tools that I'm much comfortable with using.

Thanks.:D
