OPSWAT Metadefender Client

It’s a well-known fact that the Internet is quite a dangerous place when wandering too far from known and trusted websites. An antivirus solution alone isn’t always capable to single-handedly face off all threats. However, you can use extra tools like OPSWAT Metadefender Client which scan the entire computer using multiple popular engines to provide accurate PC health status reports.

Computer scanned with multiple engines

One of the main advantages here is portability, giving you the possibility to carry it around as a personal scanner on a USB flash drive so you can use it on other computers besides your own. There’s no setup involved, and registry entries are not affected by the scan process, so the target PC remains intact.
The scan process starts as soon as the application is launched. Results are delivered in real time, but you need an active Internet connection so it can send files to be scanned through popular engines. Well over 40 scan engines are used, with a table enlisting all of them, as well as the last update time, and whether or not threats are detected.

File operations and reports

Multiple types of details are provided. These areas are easily accessed through corresponding tabs, taking you through active processes, infected files, IP connections, local antimalware, and skipped files. The entire computer is scanned, with no possibility to target specific locations.
Results are shown in real time. The host table shows file name, path, scan result, and last scan time. A report can be saved as PDF or TXT in the end in a pretty neat structure and depth of info. For processes and infected files there’s the possibility to copy path, or jump to the file location to take action through File Explorer.

To sum it up

Bottom line is that malicious content can easily infiltrate your PC with an active Internet connection, and symptoms are not always visible on the spot. OPSWAT Metadefender Client comes as a reliable application to scan your computer for malicious processes, infected files, and even bad IP connections using various popular engines, and a detailed report delivered in the end.
