ESET Online Scanner ESET Online Scanner, an unpaid tool, is able to search for and eliminate malware on computers. It utilizes the same ThreatSense scanning technology and signatures employed by ESET Smart Security and ESET NOD32 Antivirus security software. This allows it to be capable of detecting and eliminating all kinds of malware without the need to install. It is also able to scan many areas of the computer, such as the autostart area, boot sector and registry. It can also attempt to fix issues that occur during the computer’s restart and also re-scan files that were previously believed to be infected.
The software is accessible via the internet and is accessible to anyone with access to the internet. After the program has been launched, the user is able to select the components they wish to scan for malware. The process could take a while since the application needs to download the most recent signature database before it is able to begin scanning. Once the process is completed the results can be viewed and then any threats identified will be removed. It is worth mentioning that this software doesn’t offer any protection on a continuous basis and can only be used to spot dangerous components before they are able to cause any harm.
Overall, it is a useful tool to remove malware from a computer. It is particularly useful if it is not protected by other antivirus programs. It may not offer the same protection as paid solutions, but it’s far ahead of other online checkers that are free and can look over multiple areas of the computer.
