Post by: DorsetBoy on Oct 31, 2010, 07:10:12
Free online virus/malware/worm scan services provided by known, safe companies. The first part of the list covers utilities to check all of the system/registry.

The second part lists services where you can check individual files that you have concerns about.

ESET (http://www.eset.eu/eset-online-scanner)

F-Secure (http://www.f-secure.com/en_EMEA/security/tools/online-scanner/)

this f -secure free online virus scan is able to remove viruses but it cannot disinfect Worms, Trojans, Backdoors, etc since there is nothing to disinfect. This type of malware needs to be removed manually from the hard drive. The F-Secure page also contains several rescue/removal tools.
