Virus Remover

Virus Remover is a lightweight software solution which scans your hard drive for malicious agents, such as viruses, Trojans, worms, malware and spyware.
The interface of the program needs some major improvements in the visual department, but we must take into account the fact that Virus Remover has not been updated for a very long time. However, it is simple to navigate.
So, you can specify a scan path between local volume, custom folder and custom file, as well as establish the size limit and particular file types to go through.
In addition, you can update the virus definition by inputting the necessary codes, as well as remove them from the drop-down list.
Other features of Virus Remover allow you to clean the Windows Registry, scan the memory, scan for autorun files, show folders whose visibility is currently disable, and to restart Windows Explorer.
By accessing the RegMod screen, you can adjust some system tools. For instance, it is possible to disable Control Panel, Registry Editor, Task Manager and Folder Options, as well as remove the Properties area from My Computer, the Run, Shutdown and Find commands, along with the Documents menu, just to name a few. Also, you can make Virus Remover ignore a specific virus code.
The software program runs on a very low amount of CPU and system memory, so it shouldn't be a problem to the computer's performance. It has a good response time and can take a while to complete a scanning job, depending on the size of the selected target. We have not come across any difficulties in our evaluation, since Virus Remover did not hang, crash or display error dialogs.
On the downside, the application does not integrate the feature to run silently in the background to provide real-time security, and without requiring the user's input. Nevertheless, Virus Remover can be handled by all users who are looking for an alternative antivirus system.
