Eset Online Scanner or Norton Security Scan?

Which of those two would you use? Both are locally installed free on-demand scanners.

Eset Online Scanner
Norton Security Scan

I only managed to download the Norton with Internet Explorer though it is not ActiveX but a "real" local app.

Are there other scanners of this sort?

 

You can use Free Avira and dont install the guard component, so can use it only as a on-demand scanner.
AVZ Antiviral Toolkit

Antimalware, all free versions only on demand:
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware: www.malwarebytes.org
SUPERAntiSpyware: www.superantispyware.com
a-squared Free: www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/
Spyware Doctor: www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor

 

personally for on demand my fav is the dr web cure it.

 

I'd go with eset's online scanner as my first preference, and also use:

a-squared's online scanner (scan and removes) http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/ax/

Bitdefender's is good too (scan and removal):

Hitman Pro

 

eset online scanner says that it could conflict with avast because i have avast?

 

AFAIK the Norton Security Scan does not offer removal of infections unless you download the version bundled with the old Google Pack. Even then it would only remove viruses, trojans, and worms. It will warn you of other malware.

The Eset online scanner is not gimped and offers full detection/removal.

All the above are good recommendations. I've also used a Panda online scanner with good results in the past and I believe Trend Micro still has their House Call available, which worked on line the last time I checked.

SuperAntiSpyware has an on line scan like Eset if for some reason you prefer not to download the free desktop version.

 

Who bought them Eset or Symantec. Guys it's a limited two choice thread. To stay on topic though I'd go with Norton since Eset is my installed Av.

 

On demand... I use a-squared and only a-squared. No resident AV running.

 

I usually use F-Secure Online Scanner, since it one of the few scanners which has good detection rates and also cleans up system for free.
Another good locally based online scanner is Trend Micro Housecall, which in the latest version also browser-independent.
