Stinger - remove the
sting from virus and trojan infectionsMcAfee is well known for it's anti-virus software. Usually, you have
to pay for their protection. They offer a free Stinger tool program
to help people clean out infections from PC's that don't have a good
anti-virus tool, or have had the tools disabled somehow. It's a great tool
you can use to help your neighbors, family and friends when they've got a
problem. There is no installation required. Just download it and run it.
It works on all Windows PC's as far as I know.
Quote from the website - Stinger is a stand-alone utility used to
detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a substitute for full
anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist administrators and
users when dealing with an infected system. Stinger utilizes next
generation scan engine technology, including process scanning, digitally
signed DAT files, and scan performance optimizations.
