Stinger

Posted in Malware, Windows at 6:54 pm by Keith

McAfee has a free program for finding and removing viruses called Stinger. This stand-alone executable is especially effective if you rename it and run it in safe mode to avoid detection by clever viruses.

Stinger is a stand-alone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a substitute for full anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist administrators and users when dealing with an infected system. Stinger utilizes next generation scan engine technology, including process scanning, digitally signed DAT files, and scan performance optimizations.
