    Does it auto update like BD Free or A2-Free ?
    Or it is like DrWeb CureIt, which has to be re-downloaded every time for newer definitions ?

    Nice find, only took about five minutes to scan. Seems to run from the one single file.

    The_1337, I didn't have to turn the AV off, but you might have to, as F-Secure advises.

    I'm assuming by its release number, to use an updated package, a new file will need to be downloaded regularly.

    Also read (f-secure support replies on remove malware) that this tool will take care of problems such as 'Antivirus 2008', and others.
