Back-up Scanner

Which one is the best between drwebcureit and escan antivirus toolkit 4.4.7 as a back-up scanner?
Could you reccomend something better?
thanks in advance

 

if u mean MicroWorld AntiVirus Toolkit Utility it cant delete or disinfect, just scan. but its kav powered so it will find the malwares. cureit can clean and delete, but drweb, even tho i love it, isnt as good as kav dtection wise. use both

 

Actually 4.4.7 was the last one that can clean: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=65398 , as Tahoma says use both, they are two of the best with very large signaturebases.

 

Yeah I would say CureIT and the MW toolkit are two very good, free, on-demand AV scanners, I currently only have CureIT, but plan to add the MW toolkit soon. Bitdefender also has a good free (for a year) edition if you can live with the extra services it needs to run all the time, I did not like that so CureIT ended up being right for me, no extra stuff, heck it does not even need to be installed!

 

For a backup scanner, I would choose avast! Home Edition or AntiVir Personal Edition, because they are free, good detection, and don't need to have always some services processes enabled like BitDefender Free Edition...

Or you can use an free Online scanner like BitDefender ScanOnline, Panda ActiveScan or TREND MICRO House Call...

 

Go for escan 4.4.7 it is easier to update only takes a few clicks. Follow Don Pelatos and you can't go wrong

What services processes need to be disabled and why ?

What are they for ?

 

I don't remember the name of the process or processes...

But I remember that you need them to can run the BitDefender Free...

So you can make one of these two things:
1. Just have that processes always enabled and consuming useful resources
OR
2. Disable that processes and when you want to run the AV, enable them manually...
