Version
1.0.157
avast! Virus Cleaner is a free tool that will help you
remove selected virus & worm infections from your
computer.
When your computer gets infected by a virus or worm,
the virus often schedule itself to be run
automatically when you start your operating system;
some of them even register themselves to be run when
any other application is started.
Removing of it is not as simple as deleting it - after
deleting the worm file, your operating system might
not be able to start your applications (such as
Explorer) any more. In order to properly remove the
worm from your computer, it is often necessary to make
additional fixes in your system registry, delete the
links from your Startup Folder etc.
Here the avast! Virus Cleaner comes - it will find and
remove selected worms from your computer, as well as
fix the registry and startup items to make sure your
system will work correctly after the disinfection.
Many worms - when activated - create additional
working files on your hard disk. Even though these
files alone are harmless, they are useless and they
should not be there. When avast! Virus Cleaner detects
and removes a known worm from your computer, its
working/temporary files are removed as well. The same
applies for worm-specific registry entries etc. avast!
Virus Cleaner can also deactivate the virus present in
memory. There is no need to start the tool from a Safe
Mode - just start it and it will take care of the rest!
