Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool
Detect malware on your PC

Installing a good antivirus tool will keep most malware out of your system - but not all. Even the best security suites will miss maybe 1 or 2% of incoming threats, which means your PC could become infected without your antivirus software noticing. So if you suspect a problem then you'll need another program to help deal with it, and we have the perfect candidate in mind.

The Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool 11 has no real-time protection, so you can't use it in place of a full antivirus solution. Instead, the idea is that you use it to get a second opinion on your system, checking for malware and removing anything that it finds.

The lack of real-time protection means the Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool 11 shouldn't conflict with your main antivirus program. And, once installed, it's very easy to use. Just select the system areas you'd like to check, click Start Scan and let the program do its work.

Kaspersky themselves warn that, if the program detects a virus, then removing it can cause harm to your PC. Virus-infected documents may be lost, and if system files have become infected then disinfecting them may disable your system. This is no different to any other antivirus tool, but you should still be careful in how you use it. And if you'd like assistance, feel free to ask for help in Kaspersky's official forum. See their support page on the Virus Removal Tool for more advice.

Important: our download takes you directly to the Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool file on the Kaspersky website. This link changes daily (meaning our link has to be updated daily). If you cannot download, try again later or directly from the Kaspersky website: http://www.kaspersky.com/antivirus-removal-tool?form=1
 

Verdict:

A valuable second line of antivirus defence. If your PC is unstable or otherwise showing malware-type symptoms then download the Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool and let it give your system a health check

Kaspersky I say this is top of the line software. It by far better than Norton or McAfee. What I am talking about is the full version of Kaspersky!!!

Spotlight: Free Full Software

Giveaway: WinISO Standard 6.1.0

Free Full Commercial Software

WinISO is a very comprehensive tool which provides everything you need to create, edit and convert disc images.

If you've an image file already, for instance (ISO, CUE/ BIN, NRG, MDF, CCD, IMG and DVD formats are supported) then you can open it in a click or two, browse the image contents, and extract the files you need with a quick drag and drop.

It's just as easy to create new ISO9660, UDF, even HFS+ images. Just choose the option you need, then either manually build up your preferred file and folder structure; drag and drop your files and folders from Explorer onto the program; or create an image directly from a CD, DVD or Blu-ray disc.

Of course you can edit images, too. Is an ISO file too large for your needs, say? Open it up, locate and remove any surplus files to free up a little space.

WinISO program has full support for reading and creating bootable image files. A simple conversion tool makes it easy to convert disc images into the format you need. And the program can even mount ISO files as Explorer files, or burn images to disc when you're ready to save them.

Please note, this trial version of WinISO Standard will not save files greater than 500MB in size.

Giveaway: on Wednesday, we're giving you the full current version of WinISO Standard 6 worth $29.95. The download link here will take you to Downloadcrew Giveaway.
