What are all the on-demand AV's available?

Can someone please help me by completing this list of all the FREE on-demand Anti Virus programs that do not need to be running in the background and can be used to just do a scan.

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

Hitman PRO

ClamWin

Are there any others?

 

SuperAntisyware, Emisoft antimalware, Dr web, Bit Defender free etc. You could also install other AV's such as Avira or Avast without the guards to make them on demand.

 

Hi,

For Avira AntiVir, you can also only use the command-line scanner (called ScanCL) available here : http://www.avira.com/en/support-download-avira-antivir-command-line-scanner-scancl

It is very simple to use. The command syntax is:
scancl [path to scan] [options]

Use manual is available in the downloaded archive.

 

Norton Power Eraser is another one.

Trend Micro Housecall

Emsisoft commandline scanner is my favourite
its the only one with incremental signature update so that I don't have to redownload the whole thing.

Btw : thx malexous for the link

 

Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool

As adylau said, I think you did not download the VDF/engine before running Avira scanCL. In the file readme_en.txt, you can read :

Then, I recommend this as an example :
scancl C: -a -z --heurlevel=2 --defaultaction=repair,move --withtype=all
It will scan all the files (including archives) of your C: drive with heuristics set on medium, all threat categories and will try to repair (or quarantine if it cannot be repaired) if it found a malware.

 

But this warning makes me hesitant to use it:

 

i am using avert for some time..

 

no need to worry, before it cleans anything you can look up it's findings thru their community.

 

It has probably something running in background, starting in startup folder, not sure though. Check this topic.

CureIt, SAS Portable and Emsisoft Emergency Kit can be used without instal, so they are my favourite.

 

It doesn't unless you have the paid version. There's only an one-time startup file right after an install.

 

Well, it is unable to launch, when the startup folder is deleted, not only after install.

 

Hitman Pro v3.5 was installed on my pc, after reboot I was excited to try it out, connected to net...but everytime I'd open it up this warning always pops-up. How can I resolve this issue?

I run it in admin acct.

 

Try reinstalling it, it only takes a few secs

 

Still didn't work even w/ several re-installations.

The title brand name sounds like hollywoods but I just decided w/ other scanners, there are dozens of them anyway.

 

LOL, yeah the name is like taken from a movie
There was a way to force start HitmanPro but i forgot how (It's a special mode in case some malware tries to block software execution)

 

I think it was something like pressing the ctrl and clicking at the same time..I dont rem
