Hello scanning folks,

Some of us occasionally go for an on line scan.
Here some of these scanners are presented on this site:

Which scanners are reliable or recommended by our users?
What scanners do conflict with avast?

Maybe this will help since this was discussed not to long ago:

Well Bob,

what you refer to was about Multi-AV scanning, these links are for online scans, some not so verwy well known like Hauri and Freedom.

I think I’ve mentioned all the good ones here:

The worst offender for problems has got to be Panda: people try the online scanner with avast! running and think Panda is trying to infect them. In fact it’s not, as explained in the link- and it’s actually recommended by a lot of security forums because it does remove malware.

FwF,

Good contribution FwF, but still not sure about the Hauri beta Live Call Suite, with an impressive download of 8.05 MB, and all the plug-ins there?
Like to hear someones’ comment?

Hi forum folks,

Polonus would not be polonus if he would not try out the South Korean beta version of Hauri Live Call Suite, and it really is impressive. I wanted to know why Hauri is a hit in Birma. ;D
I knew my machine was clean, and in the range of viruses nothing was further detected.
The adware scan which starts the sequence found some 19 minor Adware things in the registry: HKCU\Software\Microsoft Windows Current version\Internet Settings\ ZoneMap\ Domains\Adware: like: skoobidoo,com , mt.download.com, searchmiracle.com etc.
I have to delve into these finds a bit later. The download of the scan engine takes some time and is a massive 8.05MB on the hard disk as Hauri Live Call Suite. This is the first time first time around , the scanning engine as it is is a good 800-900 kB. The scanning engine is swift. My first impression: not bad at all,

PS Scanned for signs of Adware CDT and run the tool, but nothing was found. Also the registry in Domains was clean.
