AVG Quick ThreatScan - Not really here, yet

[m00nbl00d]

I was at AVG forum, and noticed this thread

AVG Quick ThreatScan is a lightweight downloadable application for Windows. The application scans users’ computers for threats. Mean scan time is approximately 5 minutes. The application is only capable of scanning for threats. It isn’t capable of removing detected threats. The application only does a partial scan of users’ machines, it does not scan the entire user’s system. It focuses on crucial areas where threats are found. The product may expire after a certain number of days and scan, it can be uninstalled manually.

It was posted in 20.9.2011.

I wonder when it's going to be available... or did they give up on it?

No malware removal either? Hmm...

Well that's a fairly useless product

Yes, indeed. If it offers no removal... What's the point, anyway? I'd rather see AVG spend their resources to maintain a standalone version of Identity Protection.

hardly waiting to see this out

I suppose they also see no reason to bring it out. It hasn't come out yet. It's either going to revolutionize the way antimalware applications work... or... take a pick.

that would be just what I would want

I don't want a removal, i just want to know if i am
infected, a clean image and a re-imaged drive is far
better than trying to repair or remove it
