Scan Offline Computer With a Portable Antivirus

Although Internet connection is almost everywhere and free antivirus softwares are downloadable anytime, there are still situation that you can't get an internet access because of two probable reasons. First is you might have a computer at home that don't have internet access at all. Second is due to virus infection and you cannot hook an infected computer to your network. To fix an infection you need an antivirus with updated virus definition. The easiest way is to download a portable antivirus called Dr. Web CureIt from a clean computer and then copy the app on your USB flash drive.

Since Dr. Web CureIt is portable and does not require installation, just plugin your USB flash drive on the infected computer and run the antivirus app.



Dr. Web CureIt can detect and remove viruses, trojans and other malicious files from the system. It has three types of scans you can choose from. Quick, full and custom scan. A quick scan will only scan the most important locations of the Windows operating system including the boot sectors, startup objects, the Windows system folder and the user documents folders. If your computer is already infected for a long time then it is recommended to perform a full scan to locate all possible infected files.

Dr. Web CureIt is a good antivirus if you need to quickly fix an infected offline computer. The only downside are the annoying popups that advertise the commercial version of the program.
