[QUOTE="Deleted member 65228, post: 702036"] First off, there's no best on-demand scanner. Performance and detection ratio will vary constantly because each vendor has different resources, different team members, different encounters with malware in the wild, different shifts, etc. Secondly, you can use 2 on-demand scanners if you'd like. Some people even use three or four, but I'd say one or two is enough. I like HitmanPro (HMP and Emsisoft Emergency Kit (EEK) (of course unless you're already using HitmanPro.Alert which has an anti-malware engine or Emsisoft Anti-Malware), and after this my preference would be Zemana Anti-Malware (Free) and Norton Power Eraser/Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (Free). Zemana Anti-Malware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (Free versions) supports on-demand scanning. You could use one or two and setup scheduled scanning, or run a scan quickly each week. Many people started to dislike Malwarebytes after they tried to become a full AV replacement but I still like them, but their scanner is very slow even for me and my system resources are powerful. The fastest scanners I've seen though (for me) which are still extremely effective would be HMP and EEK. Only thing is HMP uses the Bitdefender engine and so does EEK alongside their own engines as well. HMP also uses the Kaspersky engine and I believe another one. [/QUOTE]
