Bootable
Anti-Virus Programs are great for dealing with Problems on Computers,
especially Rootkit Viruses that just won’t go away as described in my Geezam Blog article entitled “How
to remove Rootkit Virus or Hidden Folder Virus using Bootable Rescue Discs”.
From
time to time, however, you’ll come across a situation where you are at an
Internet Café and you need to scan the Computer without installing an
Anti-Virus Program…but you can’t. Not only do Anti-Virus Programs slow down the
Computer, but they also take up space on your Computer and can become very
possessive of your files.
Also,
you may wanna scan a non-Windows Computers, such as a Apple Computer or even an
Android Tablet that has a USB Port. Conventional Anti-Virus Installation aren’t
useful on these machines and downloading Anti-Virus Apps that are
all-controlling on your Tablet or Smartphone may not be the way you wanna go!
For
those situations where you cannot reboot the Computer and you need a Portable Anti-Virus
solution, I’d like to introduce you to some friends of mine that I’ve recently
been testing out on customers wary of Anti-Virus Programs being installed on
their Computers.
These
five (5) Portable Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware Programs have been tried, tested
and been proven as been excellent in their detection capability when it comes
to finding Viruses, even outperforming the Free installation crowd:
5. Vipre Rescue
Guaranteed
to run silently and swiftly in the background from your Thumb Drive! All of
them use a GUI (Graphic User Interface) with the exception of Vipre Rescue which scans in Command
Line. Swift and Silent, there’s no need to install them on your Computer; they
all run from a mounted Hard-Drive or Thumb Drive!
I
always pack my Fantastic Five Portable
Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware Programs for those situations where I know that I
might not be able to boot the Computer from CD/DVD ROM or when I just wanna get
in and out quickly. Best of all, what one Program misses the other catches and
eradicates!
Not
a complete substitute for a Boot Scan, but a lot less hassling and cumbersome
to implement. You merely have to remember to just schedule the Anti-Virus Scans
on a regular basis. Best of all, it can scan non-Windows Computers, treating
them as merely external Hard-Drives and scanning them accordingly.
Pack
them in your Computer Repair Kit on your Thumb Drives today!
