What are Malware Scanners?

November 7, 2008 by Amit Bhawani 2 Comments

Malware ScannersDoes this Malware term sound as if you heard before? It should definitely, because it is one type of worm that attacks your system and more prominently attacks internet. Every day there are so many new viruses and other types of infections that the personal computers face and hence it is always better to get rid of every type of such harming stuff from our system. Literally large number of different types of utilities, tools and software are being sold by promising people that they can clean all the viruses and infections in the system but they don’t stick to their words.

The problem the customers face is that, many times the product is not delivered and even if it delivered, it is not cent percent efficient in wiping them out. You can purchase numerable types of software or programs like anti-spam, anti-spyware, anti-virus etc and are successful in removing the malware virus, but they are very expensive and hence are generally not preferred. Even though we use these programs there is no guarantee that every type of malware is detected and wiped out of the system. Hence there is not a single anti-virus that will identify malicious programs even if they do, some other pest can any day just sneak into your system that is difficult for the anti-virus to identify it and clean it up.

Now a thought must have occurred to you that how can you remove this malware once it invades your system? There is command-line scanner, which is provided by few software manufacturers and is quite powerful in detecting the malware because they provide programs, which can detect algorithms and also some pest definitions and thus help in getting rid of these system harmful programs. These are useful especially when your system gets corrupted and it becomes difficult to install any new software program.

These command line scanners help in removing different types of infections like worms, Trojans, adware, spyware, dialers, rootkits etc. For this the only thing you to do is downloading the archives from the manufacturer’s website and then you will have to unpack it so that you can run command prompt. After this you will have to type few commands in order to instruct the program the way you want to handle the viruses and then click enter and your job is done. Thus employing such simple and effective ways of removing the Malware is a preferable way and also a smart move.
