Where Can I Find Very Good Portable Antivirus And Virus Removal Tools?
July 2nd, 2009 | by Frenday |I need a very good portable antivirus for windows xp.Virus Removal tools are programs for removing malware. But they don’t have real-time protection, you have to scan your pc first in order to detect malware and then removing them. So I’d like to have different Virus Removal Tools in order to reinforce security.

These days you need a whole lot more than just a virus protection. Only about 15% of all malware is viruses. The rest is worms, trojans, phishing schemes, spyware, etc.
Here’s some ideas to make Internet Security Suite (securitycenter) for free. Free is always the best.
For your Anti-Virus……(Always use only 1 A-V…You must NEVER use more than one anti-virus, Even an expired anti-virus can cause a major conflict…(did I mention that you MUST uninstall any old anti-virus products?)
For your anti-virus needs, I would suggest Avast. It has excellent heuristics, a virus detection rate that is better than many of “paid-for” anti-virus programs and is light on using your computer’s resources. And did I mention that it’s free!
Download here:http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-…
Avoid an anti-virus called AVG (free version). It is wildly popular but has poor virus detection rates.
====
For your Anti-Adware and Anti-Spyware needs……………(use at least 1 anti-spyware, but 2 is OK). Do a scan with it on a regular basis.
SUPERAntiSpyware:http://www.superantispyware.com/
===
For your Firewall……….(Always use only 1 software firewall)
A decent free firewall is Comodo Firewall Pro 3.0.21.329.
It is one of the few free firewalls that will work (and work well) on Vista as well as XP and 2000.http://www.comodo.com/
====
And to help protect your computer from ever getting infected with malware in the first place………… (use them both)
SpywareBlaster helps to immunize your computer again certain selected malware.:http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareb…
SiteAdvisor warns you when visiting a potentionally malicious web-site:http://www.siteadvisor.com/
=====
And always keep your Windows and all your installed software 100% updated and patched with all critical and security updates from the vendors THIS IS A MUST! In Internet Explorer just click Tools then Windows Updates.
Here is a little online (no download) security tool called The Secunia Software Inspector, that checks a computer for un-secure, un-updated and un-patched apps that may be installed on your computer.
The Secunia Software Inspector checks for possibly vulnerable programs like Adobe, Winamp, Java, Windows, Internet Explorer etc. and notifies if critical security updates are needed. !
Will work using IE, Opera or Firefox.
Use it once a month.
Pretty cool and free at:http://secunia.com/software_inspector/

I have set up a simple process of applications, which will be your security suite for your computer, which will help detect and remove, viruses, malware, and all types of spyware.
Best Available Internet Browser
There are some of the top FREE software’s that you can download, when building a security suite.
1) Anti Virus Program:
Avast Anti-Virus Version 4.8 Home Edition
This software is one of the highest rated free anti-virus programs, it has everything the big names have to offer, and is well trusted and reliable, I have used it and love it!
Reminder: Never have more then one Anti-Virus Program installed, because they will both interfere with each other and slow down your PC! So remember, only have one Anti-Virus program on your computer! Avoid an anti-virus called AVG (free version). It is wildly popular but has poor virus detection rates.
Download here:http://www.avast.com/
2) Anti Spware/Malware:
SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition
This Anti-Spyware software is highly rated and a free program. It has a very loyal and popular user base, and it definitely gets rid of the “nasties” (hard to remove spyware).
Reminder: Having more then one Anti-Spyware software is okay, because they do not interfere with each-other, but I recommend no more then two anti-spy ware programs.
Download Here:http://www.superantispyware.com/
3) Second (Backup) Anti Spyware/Malware:
Ad Aware Free Edition
This is well trusted software, which can detect things that SuperAntiSpyware may not, they both work well together, and this should also be used on a weekly basis.
Download Here: http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-2008/30...
4) Firewall
Windows Default Fire Wall (Reccomended)
I recommend you to use the Windows Default one, because it is actually pretty good, and is easy to use.
If you are not satisfied with it, or want something that you might think is better then download
Comodo Firewall Pro 3.0.21.329.
It is one of the few free firewalls that will work (and work well) on Vista as well as XP and 2000.
Download Here:http://www.comodo.com/
5) Cleaning Software
CC cleaner
This is a trusted software, it is small and compact, and extremely easy to use, it cleans out all old cookies, files and can save you many megabytes of space! This goes along very well with the all the other programs.
Download Here: http://www.ccleaner.com/
6) Malware and Spyware Blockers/Alerter:
And to help protect your computer from ever getting infected with malware in the first place, and also to help you for future use.
SpywareBlaster
Helps to immunize your computer again certain selected malware.
Download Here:http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareb…
7) Site Advisors warns you when visiting a potentially malicious web-site:
Download Here:http://www.siteadvisor.com/
Mozilla Firefox 3
This is easily the best internet browser, it is a lot safer, faster and more effiecent then internet explorer! I SUGGEST immediately install this, it has about 20% of the browser market, and it is the fastest growing browser! You can customize it, add add-ons and so on, also a lot of browser hijackers target Internet explorer, rather than Firefox, which is a huge benefit!
Download Here:
http://www.firefox.com
And always keep your Windows and all your installed software 100% updated and patched with all critical and security updates from the vendors THIS IS A MUST! In Internet Explorer just click Tools then Windows Updates.
All these softwares are highly rated, well trusted and are FREE! I have given the correct links, and if you have concerns, read the user comments and CNET comments on download.com!
You can also e-mail or private message me if there are any concerns or questions!

Right here. ESET NOD32 is the best out there. I’m sick of all these people actually paying for Sophos/MacAffee/Norton when they’re all rubbish! It makes me go crazy, grrrrr. http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/5/20/1...
ESET NOD32 link ^.
ESET NOD32 Business Edition. Firewall and antivirus/spyware. Offers real-time protection against threats. If you already have a firewall you can disable ESET’s, but I wouldn’t recommend it, you can use two firewalls in conjunction (but not two anti-viruses with real time protection, so be careful, it can lead to reduced performance).
Extract the .rar archive (with something like WinRAR or 7zip, you can google for them), double click the setup file (NB, a .msi file is just a different type of installer package, do not worry lawl). When it asks you, enable threatsense early warning system, and click the check box saying set update parameters later (this is for updates to your anti-virus definitions). Also, I like having my firewall on Interactive mode, for greater control. Then you just have to allow/deny the programs you choose internet access – i.e. allow Firefox/IE and any online games you may play, deny anything dodgy looking.
It’ll install nicely, when it’s open click the updates tab and press update Virus Signature Database (or words to that effect). It’ll come up with a box asking for your username and password. Now double click the other file that was in the .rar archive, the “ESET Logins Viewer”. Allow it internet access, and it’ll come up with a list of usernames and passwords for ESET. Just take the top one and copy and paste them, hit okay and let it update.
The first update may take a while. Each username/password configuration will run out every week or so, so you’ll have to update the username and password you use every so often, when it comes up with a box saying “Incorrect username/password”.
Any further questions, just ask or email me – clampstand@gmail.com
Oh, and if anything asks, you should allow “egui.exe” access to the internet – that is ESET. “ekrn.exe” is also an ESET-related process.
If you are unsure about allowing anything access to the internet, google for it. If you get little/no results it’s best not to, and if you do get results then look at a few to see whether to allow/deny accordingly.
If you’re not going to either torrent, or pay for Webroot Spy Sweeper then they offer a free scan version here: http://www.webroot.com/En_US/consumer-do... and click the “get free scan” scan box for the top piece of software (Webroot Spy Sweeper).
Also, further tips for general computer maintenance:
If your computer is running slow, you may like to consider running http://sales.webroot.com/downloads/regis...
This is Webroot Windows Washer. Crap Cleaner can also be downloaded, but works much the same as this, I prefer this though.
Then download this: http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/boo...
AuSlogics boost speed, a disk defragger, registry cleaner and some other stuff in one utility. Should improve computer performance.
Don’t run everything at the same time, and Antivirus/spyware scans will take a while. Run ESET first, then Spy Sweeper, then Windows Washer and finally the Boost Speed utility.
Congratulations, your computer is now ready to perform well, and kill malware.
