“Portable, discreet virus detection”

by Niamh Lynch about Dr.Web CureIt!

Dr.Web CureIt! is user-friendly and fast. Anyone who has ever worked with an antivirus will be familiar with the process - it scans your computer, presents you with a list of problems and offers you a solution.

The beauty of Dr.Web CureIt!, however, is its simplicity. Although it doesn't require installation, it provides a comprehensive scan and has many of the configuration options you would expect with a fuller-featured version.

Adding to its attraction is that Dr.Web CureIt! is available in a huge variety of languages, comes with an excellent help file, provides you with lots of statistics on its scans and discoveries, and last, but not least, automatically creates log files, in case of over-enthusiastic deletion. Dr.Web CureIt! didn't seem to conflict with any of the antivirus solutions already installed on the test machine, either.

So, in what situation would you use it? Well, perhaps you need to work on a computer that you don't trust completely, or you've offered to help a friend out with some issues he or she has been having. Running a quick scan before starting could put your mind at ease. Even rookie computer users know that they need a real-time antivirus installed on their machines at all times, so Dr.Web CureIt! is strictly an emergency measure - especially taking into account that it doesn't have signature updates.

Dr.Web CureIt! - simple, straightforward safety.

Pros
  • Excellent selection of language options
  • No installation needed
  • Automatically creates change logs
  • Easy to use
  • Customizable scan priority
Cons
  • No signature-updates
  • No shell integration
