Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013 13.0.0.3370 RC / 2012 12.0.0.374

An antivirus that provides all types of anti-malware protection

Kaspersky Anti-virus is one of the most powerful antivirus solutions currently on the market, providing an excellent detection rate combined with real-time protection and definition updates delivered to every computer on a regular basis.

The interface is pleasant and makes you believe you're using an application that's only focused on basic functions, although what's hidden under the hood is worth every single penny. 

Kaspersky Anti-Virus is capable not only to discover and remove threats on your computer, but also to protect your email client, instant messengers and web traffic, regardless of the browser.

The program provides a total of three scanning modes, depending on your needs: “Full Scan” to check the entire computer, “Vulnerability Scan” to look for system and app vulnerabilities that may allow for malicious attacks and “Critical Areas Scan” to verify the objects that are loaded with the operating system at startup.

Scanning takes a while though, especially if you have a lot of files, and sometimes slows down your computer when trying to clean or remove infected files. 

Virus definition updates however are delivered to your computer in no time and you won't even be bothered by this task.

There are also a bunch of other useful tools to lend you a hand and stay on the safe side, including the so-called “Kaspersky Rescue Disk”, which is a bootable CD or USB flash drive to detect and remove infections with ease, a “Privacy Cleaner” tool, a “Browser Configuration” utility to make Internet Explorer a bit safer and “Microsoft Windows Troubleshooting” to check and optimize Windows security settings.

Kaspersky Anti-virus has the power to guard your whole computer, regardless if you refer to files, mail, Internet or instant messaging clients, comprising dedicated features for each of these categories.

Overall, there's no chance not be satisfied by Kaspersky Anti-Virus and whatever you'll do, you'll be protected regardless if you're receiving and sending mails, chatting, downloading files or just browsing the web.

Dr.WEB CureIt! 7.0 Beta / 6.00.16 [04.06.2012]

Anti-virus and anti-spyware scanner based on the Dr.WEB engine

Dr. Web CureIt! is, just like its name suggests, an application designed to cure your computer and clean the infected files, regardless if we’re talking about spyware or viruses.

One of the greatest things about this downloadable software is that it doesn’t need to be installed. 

There are three scanning modes available, “Express”, “Complete” and “Custom”, with a short explanation provided in the right panel right in the main window. 

The “Express” mode for example will scan random access memory, boot sectors of all disks, startup objects, boot disk root directory, root Windows folder, Windows system folder, user documents folder, system temporary folder and user temporary folder.

It’s being delivered as an executable file that needs just a double click to be launched which, in some cases, is the only viable solution. Viruses and spyware are often trying to block installation of new antiviruses and security software, so this is indeed a major advantage.

On the contrary, probably the worst thing about Dr. WEB CureIt! is its interface. It’s boring to say the least, and the user is assaulted with multiple splash screens, as the software loads in the background. 

During our test, the scanning process took a while, especially when we gave the complete scan mode a spin, but this way we got sure that the whole computer was entirely clean.

The application isn’t too heavy on computer resources, so scanning the drives and working on your machine at the same time isn’t a problem at all, although we won't recommend that until the scanning process comes to an end.

All in all, Dr. Web CureIt! is the kind of tool that struggles to impress, but there’s still a lot of work to do. Permanent protection is mandatory for such a tool, while a modern interface and stylish look would likely attract many more users.

Here are some key features of "Advanced System Protector":

· Advanced System Protector has been designed to Quick Scan your System and Deep Scan your System. Both these scans are a good way to check your PC for infections. A Quick Scan has been designed so that you can check your PC every morning, without spending much time on the scan. This will check for infections by the file path and warn you in case of any infections found. A Deep Scan should be performed on the first installation of Advanced System Protector, and then on a weekly basis. This is a thorough scan for your computer, where the files and folders are searched for infection on the basis of file path and MD5, a file recognition technology. In case an infection is found, you have the option to remove, ignore, quarantine or delete it, as per your choice.

· Real Time Guards have been designed to continuously monitor your computer for any suspicious activity. These guards monitor the most vulnerable areas of your computer, which may be the gates for most infections. These guards are more active when you are browsing the Internet, opening files or executing applications and programs.

Real Time Guards:

· BHO Guard
· This guard monitors the plug-ins installed in Internet Explorer and warns you when a new plug-in wants to install itself.

· AppInit DLL Guard
· The DLL files, which control the Application Initiation, are monitored by this guard. This ensures that no application gets listed in your Auto-Start list without your permission.

· Winlogon Shell Guard
· This guard is similar to the previous. It monitors the Windows Shell Registry setting and prevents any application from being loaded at the Windows Startup.

· Hosts File Guard
· This guard monitors the Hosts file and restricts changes to it. This means that you can get rid of most automatic and unwanted browser redirects.

· IE Trusted Sites Guard
· Internet Explorer keeps a list of trusted sites, where the browser permits less secure browsing. This guard keeps a check on this list and restricts any website from getting listed here without your permission.

· IE Home Page Guard
· This guard ensures that when you start your computer, you get to see the home-page that you have set in your computer, and not any unwanted home-page designed to lure you into a trap.

· Running Process Guard
· This guard prompts you to allow or restrict the execution of any new processes in your task list, ensuring that no malware starts automatically on your computer.

· Startup Guard
· This guard is designed to stop any unwanted and malicious software from entering the startup folder, preventing any malware to execute at the start of your system.

· Startup Registry Files Guard
· This guard monitors the Registry files for any changes and prompts you to authorize or restrict any suspicious change.

· Advanced System Protector can quarantine any spyware ormalware detected on your computer to safeguard your system. This means that the files are placed in a safe vault, with their format changed. These files can not cause any harm to your computer anymore because they are not in their original format. The quarantine is designed to ensure that the spyware which are embedded in other applications, are prevented from execution or causing harm, without stopping the application to function.

Requirements:

· Intel Pentium 4/5 or AMD processor with 500 MHz, 128MB RAM

Limitations:

· The following features are not available: On Execution Scanner, Internet Shield, Registry Shield, Process Shield, Windows Shield, Startup Shield, IE Privacy Shield, Browser Shield.

Trojan Remover 6.8.3 Build 2603

Detects and automatically removes malware without the need to use SAFE mode.

Trojan Remover is designed to automatically remove malware (trojans, worms, adware, spyware, etc.) from a PC when standard anti-virus software has either failed to detect the malware or is unable to effectively eliminate it.

Trojan Remover aids in the removal of Malware - Trojan Horses, Worms, Adware, Spyware - when standard anti-virus software either fails to detect them or fails to effectively eliminate them. Standard antivirus programs are good at detecting this Malware, but not always so good at effectively removing it.

Trojan Remover is designed specifically to disable/remove Malware without the user having to manually edit system files or the Registry. The program also removes the additional system modifications some Malware carries out which are ignored by standard antivirus and trojan scanners.

What Trojan Remover Does
Trojan Remover examines all the system files, the Windows Registry and the programs and files loaded at boot time. The majority of malicious programs (once triggered) load this way.

Trojan Remover scans ALL the files loaded at boot time for Adware, Spyware, Remote Access Trojans, Internet Worms and other malware. Trojan Remover also checks to see if Windows loads Services which are hidden by Rootkit techniques and warns you if it finds any.

For each identified Trojan Horse, Worm, or other malware, Trojan Remover pops up an alert screen which shows the file location and name; it offers to remove the program's reference from the system files and allows you to rename the file to stop its activation.

Most modern Malware programs are memory-resident, which makes their de-activation more difficult. How many times have you been told to start your computer in 'Safe' mode, or even worse, in DOS? Trojan Remover does all this for you. When it finds Malware that is memory-resident, Trojan Remover automatically re-starts (on request) your system and completely DISABLES the Malware before Windows restarts.

Trojan Remover writes a detailed logfile every time it performs a scan. This logfile contains information on which programs load at boot-time, and what (if any) actions Trojan Remover carried out. The logfile can be viewed and printed using Notepad.

The FastScan component of Trojan Remover is set to automatically scan for Malware every time you start your PC (you can disable this if you wish). You can also run the FastScan manually any time you wish (START | Programs | Trojan Remover | FastScan). This FastScan checks all program-loading points - it is a quick and effective check for actively-loading malicious programs.

You can scan the whole drive, or any directories on the drive, by selecting Scan a Drive/Directory from the main Trojan Remover menu. You can scan individual files and directories from within Windows Explorer.

Trojan Remover incorporates an integral Updater allowing for quick and easy Database updates. You can use the Windows Task Scheduler to schedule automatic updates.

Note: Trojan Remover will not work on 64 bits operating systems.

Limitations:

· 30 days trial
· Nag screen

What's New in This Release:

· Improved support for 64bit systems, including integration into the Windows Explorer context menu.
· Updated detection methods.

Exterminate It! 2.07.03.25

Guard Yourself, Your House and Your Family against Digital Threats!

Exterminate It! Is part of the new group of apps that comes to fight against the leaders of the security software team, trying to offer users what they need the most: advanced detection, real-time protection and regular updates.

And although it may all sound like milk and honey, it’s not, because Exterminate It! lacks some important features that are crucial when trying to guard a vulnerable computer.

The interface is indeed very easy to use, because all things are nicely organized in a bullet list, letting you start a scan, update, or check the options for some configuration tools.

While the options menu has only a few settings mostly related to Internet connection configuration and AntiRootkit tools, the scanning process is just basic.

There’s only one scanning mode that will check the whole computer for malicious files, which means there’s no option to look into just one folder or scan a given drive.

The good thing is that Exterminate It! scans the computer very fast and although it calls itself an antivirus, it’s mostly designed to detect spyware files and remove them entirely.

It is indeed very friendly with computer resources, so you can safely use it on older machines too, but keep in mind that you may notice some computer slowdowns in performance when updating definitions.

Although it does have a help menu, documentation isn’t stored locally, so you will need an Internet connection to find out more information on the application.

Overall, Exterminate It! is a nice attempt to safeguard computers around the world, but given the price, it’s better to choose an app that already made a name for itself.

Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool 11.0.0.1245 [25.03.2012]

Another virus scanner and detection software from Kaspersky.

No matter how carefully one uses the computer, they are still exposed to online threats and malware attacks, so the importance of having a correctly-configured antivirus solution should not be underestimated. However, in case the infection has already reached the PC and the security software has been neutralized, there is one more tool that can be tested: Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool.

In most cases, when the virus is already on the target PC, there is nothing much one can do because the malware typically does not allow users to install or update any antivirus software. Kaspersky’s tool on the other hand has taken some protective measures: it can be installed on infected computers, even in Safe Mode, and it can automatically remove viruses, Trojans, rootkits, adware or spyware.

Installation is extremely quick and the scanning process is very fast, with the application remaining quite friendly with the computer resources. The interface of Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool is equally intuitive, and users can only press the Scan button and continue with their work, as the process will run in the background. 

If the results of the automatic scanning are not satisfactory, one can also try the Manual Disinfection which performs an in-depth analysis of the computer, then generates a detailed report that can be sent to Kaspersky for further processing. 

Alternatively, one can also choose the target type of data that needs to be scanned, thus restricting the area of analysis, and the time of the scan, but this is only advisable when users are aware of the location of the infection. Also, modifying the security level to High can result in longer scanning times. 

Last but not least, Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool allows users to choose the action they want to take when a threat is detected, so experts can attempt to manually process the issue.

Overall, in case viruses and other infections have reached one;s computer, Kaspersky’s tool can come to the rescue. But one should note that keeping a computer clean comes down to installing a full version of an antivirus solution, with real-time protection and periodic updates.
