Antivirus

[Prowlcorp]

Does anyone know where I can find a good antivirus runnable from usb? I do not want to use sites like softonic if possible. I tried AVG but see no portable on their website

Hitman Pro/ Adwcleaner they dont require installation I think Malwarebytes also has some stuff for technicians those probably also dont require installation. And NEVER download from Softonic they put malware in their downloads.

Yes I was going to actually add you and ask about ones like these.
Thanks for linking them. Also is there any ways to gain updated definitions and then update/replace files on a Live/Boot tool like those?
Or do they just update the whole tool (ISO) over time and you can simply wipe a flash drive and redo it with an updated one?

Previously there was an update utility for rescue iso, but it sometimes bugged (broken iso)
Now I practically do not use it, and at once I will not say in which status it is, on the support site there is kb article on it http://support.kaspersky.com/4407 , but it has not been updated for several years
When using live usb(and iso), you can update directly from the loaded system, if the network is working normally (user need to be able to configure the network in linux)
I will have to look at the KL forum, what are the problems now...

http://support.kaspersky.com/11705 - now all products updated via KUU3.0

As for Dr.Web, ISO never have updater, there are no official utilities for incremental updates in public access

There are some more good utilities, but they require a higher level of knowledge (with some I have not yet figured out how to use them correctly), although they allow you to detect more advanced rootkits

Windows Defender + Malwarebytes + Ublock

If you dont trust Defender get maybe something like Avast, Avira or Bitdefender.

I really don't see a need for buying a Av anymore. The free versions are more then adequate.

Its not anything to do with trusting Defender. The fact is, it's useless.
And free BitDefender will do really nothing for you either.

Windows defender is not portable by usb

I'm making a list of goodies here:

Feel free to make suggestions to add on to those in the listing.

Ideally I would say, disable Defender, regardless. It is the reason Win10 chugs along and takes time to do anything at all when you click stuff. It is a joke.

Get Ublock
Adblock for your web browsers
MalwareBytes 3.0 Premium
and Spybot Anti-Beacon to immunize your WinOS (7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10)

People, I asked for a portable(USB) antivirus and half of what I see requires a system as its host

[jkl2k2]

I think Avast can be used on a USB.

I know for sure that you can boot a computer off of it for a scan if you have a crippling virus.
