Kaspersky Web Scanner - Gone?

Where is the Kaspersky Web Scanner?
I see only the Kaspersky File Scanner (scans one file at a time, and you must upload the files, and there is a 1 Mb limit on file sizes )

Is it just me and my PC that I don't see this anymore?

 

Works for me , maybe they were down for a bit. Try now

 

Well judging by my Security-Ops page it's still live and kickin'

 

It's not that the page is gone, but there used to be 2 scanners on that page:
1 that you could scan the whole hard drive with if you wanted - gone?
1 that was just a file scanner (where you have to "upload" the files you wanted it to scan) - still there

Here's a pic to illustrate what I see on my screen - where's the other scanner?

I tried the direct link to Kaspersky Web Scanner found in RejZoR's signature, and I get error message: "Kaspersky Online Scanner license has expired".

 

hmm i get the same message.

maybe theyre preparing a new version of the scanner?

 

try clicking on the button in the corner online virus scanner. oh woops

 

Does it remove viruses that online scanner?

 

Not when I used it. I used it to scan and sort my malware collection. I think it only detects (doesn't clean/delete), or that's what it used to do.

 

I read on KAV forum that the service is down for one week or something

Thanks for the info, dah145!

 

if you want a online scanner that detects and removes try the bitdefender one here http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html

 

watch out for false positives especially if you use the Bitdefender default settings that delete automatically files it deems are a problem. It seems to pick up some antispyware and hips files as trojans etc and they are slow to correct these fps in their detections.( if bothering at all in some cases)

 

Hi

i always change the default settings to it asks for action

 

solarpowered candle do you have some thing against bitdefender?

He's simply stating the obvious, nothing against your present favourite AV i'm sure and i have actually had the BD online scanner remove stuff it shouldn't even after settings it to ask for action! So good advice IMO.

 

That's possibly due to HIVE, their heuristics. I remember getting one of Sunbelt's help files flagged and removed when I was using Counterspy. I, of course, diligently submitted said file, but a week later it was still being flagged. Ho hum.

 

ye my favourite av does change alot atm the contendents are kaspersky and bitdefender both great av's
