    • Letter. Please tell us on your website about, for example Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool or Kaspersky Security Scan, I think they deserve attention. I just had an argument with a friend, he tells me that the best anti-virus utility that works without installation on the computer is . I don’t argue, and you often mention it in your articles, it actually finds and neutralizes well malware, but I think the utilities from Kaspersky are no worse than the utilities from Dr.Web. Kaspersky Lab even has a utility called TDSSKiller.exe - it finds and neutralizes malware such as rootkits. There is an article on your website about, but not a word about the above-mentioned utilities. Or you think that they are not effective in fighting viruses. Max.
    • Letter No. 2 Downloaded the utility from Kaspersky Kaspersky Security Scan, but it turns out that it does not remove viruses, but simply informs you about the threats and security status of your computer. I don’t understand what the point is in using it then. No signature.
    • Letter No. 3 Admin, help with advice. When scanning the computer for the presence of rootkits using the Kaspersky utility TDSSKiller, it was found suspicious object, medium danger – Service: sptd. The instructions for using the utility say: copy the suspicious object to quarantine and then send the files to Kaspersky Virus Lab or check for viruses on VirusTotal.com. In short I copied suspicious file quarantined and wanted to check on VirusTotal.com, but I can’t find the quarantine itself, there is no information about this anywhere in the program settings, on the Kaspersky forum they advised to carefully read the instructions for using the TDSSKiller program, but there is no such information in the instructions either. No signature.

Let's get acquainted with the Kaspersky Rescue Disk. How everything works for Kaspersky (and it works), you will see for yourself and draw a conclusion.

    Definitely worth wearing antivirus utilities from Kaspersky on a flash drive and use them as needed in the fight against viruses. I didn’t write anything about these utilities only because I simply don’t have enough time.

    All Kaspersky Lab products include latest developments in the field of anti-virus technologies, including new “cloud” technologies. Take, for example, Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool (AVPTool) - a constantly updated free antivirus scanner. It should be used from time to time to scan your computer for the presence of malware. Scanning your computer this utility neutralizes malicious programs located on your computer: Trojans, Internet worms, rootkits, as well as spyware and adware.

The Kaspersky Security Scan utility does not actually remove viruses, but you still need to use it and now you will see how. We will check the functionality of free Kaspersky utilities on my friend’s computer; when visiting one site that turned out to be malicious, he planted two Trojans for himself - in the Startup folder and the temporary folder Temp files.
    All free utilities from Kaspersky can be downloaded on the official page http://www.kaspersky.ru/virusscanner

    Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool

    Let's start with the Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool utility, analyze all its settings and check our computer for viruses.

    The language is Russian and click Download, then download the program installer to our computer and run it.

    We agree to the license agreement and click Get started.

    The free utility Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool can be launched in Automatic check, there is also a Manual Treatment mode.

    Before you click Run scan, I advise you to go to the program settings. In option Check area, be sure to check My Documents, My Mail and most importantly Disk (C:). Why?

    When scanning an infected computer, I did not check Disk (C:) and Kaspersky utility Virus Removal Tool found only one virus in startup,
    , but did not find the second malicious program - located in the Temp temporary files folder
    . I had to rescan Drive (C:) separately, and only after rescanning was the virus found.
    Security level can be left in the middle

    Option Action, you can check the box - Prompt when detected.

    If the Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool utility detects a virus program on you, it will inform you to Disinfect, (if possible) Delete (recommended) or Skip.

    So, let's go, let's press Run scan

    First Trojan horse was found 8 minutes later.

    The second Trojan, as I already said, was found during a second scan, so do not forget to select drive (C:) for scanning in the program settings. The utility immediately offered to remove the second malicious program.

    As for manual treatment. It takes place in three stages. Click Collecting information about the system,

    The utility collects the information it needs, which is located in the file avptool_sysinfo.zip

    Next, register on the Kaspersky Lab forum in the Anti-Virus thread, ask your question and attach the avptool_sysinfo.zip archive, you should definitely receive an answer, and sometimes specialists may suggest you run a script, which you need to copy into the Execute Script window and click Run Script.

    At the end of the utility, the following proposal is received. If you press the button Install protection, we will immediately go to the page with paid antivirus solutions Kaspersky Lab.


    Free utility Kaspersky Security Scan

    Let's move on to the second Kaspersky Security Scan utility, we will check the same infected computer with two viruses: in Startup and in the Temp temporary files folder.

    The Kaspersky Security Scan utility does not remove viruses, but after scanning the computer it provides detailed information about the threats in your operating system and where they are found, vulnerabilities and other problems. It all looks like this.
    Let's go to the page again http://www.kaspersky.ru/virusscanner, select Kaspersky Security Scan and click Download.

    Download and run the utility. Again I want to say that if Quick check you are not satisfied, then choose Full check. In my case, the situation with Quick Scan repeated itself; it found only one virus in Startup.

    C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
    When conducting full check The utility found a second malware in temporary files
    C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp
    After a while

    The free Kaspersky Security Scan utility will give you this report. Click on the arrow.

    What condition is it in? antivirus program on your computer, I received a warning because my anti-virus program was disabled at the time the utility was running.
    If the utility finds malware, it will give you their location.

    Vulnerabilities

    Other problems. Gives out very important information about vulnerabilities associated with the parameters of programs installed on your computer and the operating system itself. As you can see, the utility correctly noted problems on my computer related to autorun from various media that need to be corrected.


    Rescue Disk Kaspersky Rescue Disk

    The advantage of checking the operating system with boot disk The salvation over other utilities is that the malicious programs located in the operating system are in an inoperative state, one might say - they are simply lying on the hard drive.

    Select Kaspersky Rescue Disk and click download.

    The disk image is downloaded to ISO format, burn it onto a blank. Who doesn't know how to burn ISO image to a blank CD or DVD, read our article
    So, after we have burned the image onto a blank CD, we boot our computer from the Kaspersky Rescue Disk. Again, for those who don’t know how, read our article
    In this window, to continue loading, you need to press any key on the keyboard.

    We choose the language Russian, however, who needs which one.

    We accept the conditions - press key 1.

    Choose Graphic mode.

    Wait for the disks to mount.

    Here is the desktop of the Kaspersky Rescue Disk antivirus disk. Let's look at the main capabilities of the disk.
    Click on Kaspersky Rescue Disk to open a settings window; there is nothing complicated to manage here. In the settings, we additionally mark drive C: for virus scanning, or if you want all drives, but the scan in this case will take a very long time. Click on the button Run check objects.

    Kaspersky Rescue Disk has a registry editor, which you will agree is very convenient, by the way, in earlier versions there was no disk.

    You can also use the File Manager if you need to move your files from one partition hard drive to another.

    And using the built-in browser you can access the Internet.


    TDSSKiller - protection against rootkits

    Well, the turn has come to the TDSSKiller utility, which can help you detect and neutralize rootkits on your computer. A rootkit is a program for hiding the presence of a malicious program in an operating system, helping an attacker to manage a hacked Windows and hide traces of his malicious activities by hiding destructive processes and the rootkit itself.

    You can download it on the official website of Kaspersky Lab, by the way it is available at this link detailed instructions using the utility http://support.kaspersky.ru/5353?el=88446 Click Download the file TDSSKiller.exe

    Download and launch.

    If the program displays a window indicating that an update is available for download, click on Download update.

    By default, the utility is configured optimally and there is no need to change anything. Click Start checking.

    If after scanning the program displays the following window - Suspicious object, medium danger - Service: sptd, then this is not scary. Service: sptd is a program service - a disk drive emulator Daemon tools. You may ask - How can you determine whether it’s scary or not?

    TDSSKiller can detect the following suspicious services or files:
    Hidden service– hidden key in the registry;
    Blocked service– inaccessible key in the registry;
    Hidden file – hidden file hidden on disk when enumerated in the standard way;
    Locked file- the file on the disk is not available for opening in the standard way;
    Spoofed file- when reading, the file’s contents are not real;
    Rootkit.Win32.BackBoot.gen - suspected to be infected boot entry MBR.

    For detailed analysis, Kaspersky Lab recommends copying detected objects to quarantine by selecting the Copy to quarantine action (the file will not be deleted!!!), then sending the files to Kaspersky Virus Lab or VirusTotal.com scanning.

    Quarantine location is the root of the C:\TDSSKiller_Quarantine drive
    Open the website VirusTotal.com, then click Select file

    Open and Check

    Analysis of the sptd.sys file on VirusTotal.com showed that only one antivirus company, TrendMicro, classified the sptd.sys file as a PAK_Generic.009 virus.

    At one time I established that this file is safe, but to be completely sure, our reader can send it to Kaspersky Virus Lab.

    Articles on this topic:

    If a lot of unnecessary advertising materials appear in the browser, files disappear somewhere on the desktop, or other strange things happen, and the antivirus is powerless against them, a virus removal utility comes to the rescue.

    This concept means small program, which simply finds and removes viruses and their remnants.

    This is an inferior antivirus, such as Doctor Web or Kaspersky, but a small part of them that only scans the system and removes all malware.

    Such utilities do not require installation and, most often, are distributed completely free of charge.

    Some antivirus giants release such utilities so that users can fully appreciate the power of their software.

    An example of such is the same Doctor Web and Kaspersky.

    The first “giant” has such a utility called Dr.Web CureIt, and the second one – Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool.

    These two programs are the most popular of their kind, but far from the most effective. But they are distributed for free!

    Using their example, we can consider the main functions and features of viruses removal utilities.

    And then we’ll move on to considering those programs that really work effectively against ad viruses and others unnecessary programs.

    • Several ways: How to clean your computer from viruses absolutely free

    No. 6. Dr.Web CureIt

    So, Dr.Web CureIt does not require installation.

    It's very easy to use.

    It all comes down to these few steps:

    1. Launch the downloaded file.
    2. Click on one big button“Start checking” (Figure 1.a).
    3. In the next window, check off the threats that the program will look for on your computer (highlighted green in Figure 1.b).
    4. Click the big “Start scan” button.

    After that, you just have to wait for the end of the check. This process is shown in Figure 2.a.

    Upon completion, the user will see a report that displays detected viruses and the files that contain them.

    An example of such a report is shown in Figure 2.b. Using the buttons at the bottom of the window, they can be deleted or quarantined.

    That's the whole process of using Dr.Web CureIt.

    No. 5. Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool

    The use of Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool is very similar to what we saw in Dr.Web CureIt. In principle, the same applies to all other utilities for treating a computer.

    As for the utility from Kaspersky, I want to believe that it is really powerful and that it is capable of efficiently finding all viruses.

    But, judging by the reviews on the Internet, everything is not as rosy as it seems at first glance.

    Moreover, it seems that the developers of Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool decided not to put too much effort into their product.

    This is confirmed by the fact that latest version this program was released in September 2015.

    Since that time, Kaspersky Lab specialists have not worked with the utility. This is evidenced by the official website of the program - www.kaspersky.ru/antivirus-removal-tool.

    There, by the way, you can download this very utility.

    On the forums you can find reviews that Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool does not find most ad viruses, which Dr.Web CureIt easily copes with.

    Some write that it takes a very long time to run and heavily loads the computer's memory.

    Often it is simply impossible to run other programs in parallel with Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool. Although, all Kaspersky products suffer from this.

    In any case, although Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool is the brainchild of one of the best antivirus products of our time, it does not have even a quarter of the power that Kaspersky antiviruses are famous for.

    Therefore, it is better to use one of the utilities listed below.

    No. 4. AdwCleaner

    Any topic on forums that talks about free virus removal utilities will feature AdwCleaner.

    And this is not at all surprising, because many people choose this particular program as an alternative to the popular Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool and Dr.Web CureIt.

    Although, if you take all the many reviews and posts, then it can hardly be considered the most powerful of its kind. But AdwCleaner was created, as they say, with soul and for people.

    After a standard and identical virus removal process for everyone, AdwCleaner shows recommendations on how to avoid similar problems in the future.

    As for use, this healing utility is practically no different from the above-mentioned similar programs.

    The AdwCleaner window is shown in Figure 4. All actions are concentrated in the section with the appropriate name (highlighted in the figure).

    To start using it, you need to click the “Scan” button, and then wait until the end of the scan.

    The “Results” section (located immediately below the “Actions” section) will contain the inspection report.

    There you can select all the threats found or some specific ones and click the “Delete” button.

    Of course, the scanning and removal algorithms for all such programs are different, but the method of use is almost the same for all.

    As for AdwCleaner, judging by the reviews of people that they left on forums and in social networks, this healing utility works better than Kaspersky and Doctor Web products.

    There were cases when the same Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool did not find anything, but AdwCleaner found several dozen viruses and easily removed them from the computer.

    No. 3. Anti-Malware

    Anti-Malware is one of the most popular healing utilities.

    Almost the same thing can be said about it as about AdwCleaner - in any topic about utilities for removing viruses, at least someone will write about Anti-Malware.

    The peculiarity of this program is that it is a full-fledged software with several tabs in the main window, extensive customization options, several scanning modes and a great variety of functions.

    Thus, the user can set exceptions for scanning, set scheduled scans, restrict access to the utility for other users, and do much more.

    He also has the opportunity to view history.

    In general, Anti-Malware is much more than AdwCleaner, Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool and Dr.Web CureIt combined.

    Moreover this program distributed completely free of charge.

    It only has Premium mode, in which it is available quick check, the aforementioned scheduler, even real-time protection (!) and many others additional functions.

    But the main Anti-Malware package is quite enough to detect and permanently remove certain viruses.

    In some cases, users use it as a replacement for an antivirus, only checking it from time to time. Although doing so is highly not recommended.

    Anti-Malware also has disadvantages. But they are very small.

    For example, for one of the users the utility detected Webalta and Conduit, but did not respond to Mobogenie, which is also completely advertising program.

    So in the race for the title " best utility to delete virus programs» Anti-Malware clearly cannot claim first place. But her place in the top three is guaranteed!

    Important: Anti-Malware has a full Russian language. Only for this you need to download it from the official website - ru.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download.

    No. 2. Spybot Search & Destroy

    This program differs from others in its very interesting interface - it is clear that few people worked on the program, and they did not spend a lot of time on beautiful design and advertising your product.

    But they spent a lot of time making a truly powerful virus removal tool for any modern computer.

    The program interface is shown in Figure 6.

    As you can see, in the main program window there are such standard items as system scan, quarantine and update.

    Although there are two scans here - one for the system as a whole, the other for separate files.

    This is very unusual for such programs.

    There is a “Statistics” button, by clicking on which you can see how many viruses were on the computer for the entire time that Spybot Search & Destroy was on the computer, which of them were removed, and so on.

    This is also very useful feature, which allows you to analyze the main ways threats reach your computer.

    But the palm among non-standard functions goes to “Immunization”. It allows you to protect certain files from infection. A very unusual, but very useful feature!

    Among the advanced tools there is a report creator, which makes it possible to create a report on the operation of the program and the state of the system.

    There are also settings and another interesting item - “Startup tools”.

    It allows you to specify those programs and functions that will be loaded with the system. For example, you can set automatic scanning at startup.

    Most importantly, Spybot Search & Destroy protects against viruses very well - search on top level, and removal takes place without side effects. And this is the main thing for such programs.

    Important! Spybot Search & Destroy does not take first place in our rating today for one simple reason - it is unfinished!

    For one user, this utility for some reason removed the drivers from the scanner; for another, the computer rebooted.

    In addition, the creators with not very appropriate in this case approached with humor license agreement.

    If they take their creation more seriously in the future, Spybot Search & Destroy may well outperform other similar programs.

    Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool is a free “light” version of the antivirus that fights the consequences, but does not prevent viruses from entering your system. As you know, it is easier to sell a product to a person if he has tried it and liked it. This is what many software companies do with their paid solutions. They give a program for free use for a month, and then they ask you to buy full version. This model has a slightly different principle: you are provided with a full-fledged antivirus, but which can only remove existing viruses from your computer. If you want complete real-time protection, we recommend you buy complete package. Since our portal specializes in free software, we decided to download Kaspersky AVP Tool for free and see what it is all about.

    Possibilities:

    • checking your computer for viruses;
    • manually treating your computer.

    Working principle:

    Kaspersky AVP Tool Portable is essentially a portable program: when you run the installation file, it does not install the program on hard drive computer, but loads it into memory. If you exit the program, it will not remain on the computer, and you must run the installer again. Once the program is running you can start automatic check computer. She will check system files for the presence of intrusion of foreign programs. Also in the "Manual Treatment" section you can start collecting information about software your computer and send it for analysis to the 911 Anti-Virus Service.

    Pros:

    • You can run it from a removable device and cure an infected computer.

    Cons:

    • takes up quite a lot of space;
    • does not provide permanent protection.

    In our opinion, this program can only be suitable for emergency treatment of an infected computer, but of course it is not suitable as a regular antivirus. If you need to cure a computer with viruses, you can download Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool for free on our website.
