Some PC owners prefer reformat their computers and reinstall all software, each time they must deal with a virus infection. But this approach is seen to the blind. Imagine for a moment that all cd and dvd software installation may take a whole day! It is a waste of time.

a-squared anti-malware command line is one of the very few developed and maintained by a software company. As a free application, it still gets daily updates but does require no key or subscriptions of any kind.

Things that I love about CureIt are the size of the download and startup scan not configurable. But it's minor nuances, which do not affect the scanning speed and efficiency. Unlike a-squared command line, DrWeb CureIt still requires a kind of installation before it can perform scanning.
