Detect and eliminate common PC viruses and worms with McAfee Stinger
McAfee Stinger is a tool dedicated to detecting and eliminating a series of specific viruses that should not be used as a substitute for a normal antivirus.
It is very useful for confronting the usual threats that circle the net: viruses, worms, and their variants. In particular, the current version of this tool eliminates more than 600 threats.
From the preferences panel you can activate or deactivate the analysis of processes and boot sectors by selecting the action to perform when a threat is found (Inform, Repair, Rename, and Delete).
The list of viruses that this antivirus can eliminate includes prominent names like the following: W32/Bagle, W32/Blaster, W32/Bugbear, W32/Conficker, W32/Mydoom, W32/Netsky, W32/Sasser.worm, W32/Sober, W32/Spybot.
The tool uses moderate RAM and low CPU during scanning, which may take a while, depending on the target’s size. However, we have come across some issues in our tests. McAfee Stinger wouldn’t take into account the custom locations we assigned for scanning and kept running in default mode instead.
Nevertheless, users are welcomed to try McAfee Stinger for themselves and figure out if it’s a suitable on-demand virus scanner for them. Just keep in mind that it does not provide real-time protection against malware, so you still have to install an all-round antivirus application to keep the PC safe at all times.
