We all know about the importance of malware protection, but – like backing up data – it’s all too easy to keep putting it off until it’s too late. If your computer is exhibiting signs of some form of infection, you may well find that it’s not possible to install protective software after the fact, or it might be that your protection has been disabled or interfered with.

This malware detection and removal tool picks up the presence of trojans, spyware, adware, worms, dialers, keyloggers and viruses, and can be run straight from a USB drive – perfect if you’re unable to download or install software on the affected PC.

The toolkit is compatible with all versions of Windows and it’s available in 32- and 64-bit variants. System requirements are low and the scanner uses just 200MB of RAM, which Emsisoft says is “quite low considering the 10 million signatures that it must load”.
