The simple truth of the matter is that no antivirus application is foolproof – it’s just a matter of how well the security solution can protect your PC and some solutions do a better job than others. If you suspect that malware got through without being caught by your antivirus, then I present to you the free, doesn’t have to be installed, easy to use application Dr.Web CureIt. It will scan your PC and identify any malicious objects your antivirus may miss.

As mentioned above, you don’t have to install Dr.Web CureIt! on your machine to enjoy the functionality it has to offer. What you have to do is download an executable (some 116MB in size) and run it. Once you do so you will be presented with a prompt telling you that Dr.Web CureIt! was launched in Enhanced Protection Mode (EPM). EPM is for emergency scans. It does not let any other application launch while it is active. It ensures Dr.Web CureIt! runs even when your PC is blocked by malware. Click OK to continue using Dr.Web CureIt! in this mode, or click Cancel to switch to Standard Mode.

Choose to switch to Standard Mode and you will be presented with a prompt that invites you to launch a system scan. Just click on the Start Scanning button and lean back. The application will start scanning your machine with the aim of uncovering any malicious objects your antivirus may miss.

Dr.Web CureIt! is a free application. You do not have to part with your hard earned money to use it.

Even if you have an antivirus solution protecting your PC, some threats may bypass it. If you fear this happens, go get Dr.Web CureIt!

Pros

Dr.Web CureIt! does not have to be installed, making it portable. You can run Dr.Web CureIt! in Enhanced Protection Mode or in Standard Mode. You can pick which objects will be included in the scan. You can set it so your computer will be turned off automatically once the scan completes. Support for lots of languages is provided. Dr.Web CureIt! is a free application.

Cons

None that I could think of.
