– Process analysis and system startup,
Main features:
Detection: Stinger is a utility that detects malware that can infect your computer. With a regularly updated database, this tool is currently capable of recognizing over 2,000 types of viruses, Trojans, and their variants.
Custom scan: By default, this software is designed to scan for rootkits, pre-loaded modules, registries, and directories that may be infected. But if you ever want to add a specific drive or folder to the scan, simply specify the path to the target.
Configurable: Stinger offers options that you can modify according to your preferences. For example, you can decide whether or not to scan subdirectories and archives, define the desired scan level (quick, medium, deep, etc.), display or hide the list of scanned files, and choose the action to take when a virus is detected: postpone, rename, repair, delete, etc.
Portable: In addition to being free, Stinger is also a tool that requires no installation. However, since it remains only a temporary solution, the use of ongoing antivirus protection is always recommended.
Cannot completely replace a standard antivirus program.
This software does not require installation and is used to detect and remove certain specific trojans and malware that may bypass your Anti-virus.
