great option if you’re building an
anti-malware toolkit from the
ground up.
It includes a virtual environment

http://www.adaware.comwhere suspicious programs can be
analysed to see if they behave like
malware (a technique known as
heuristic analysis). This means
you’re always protected from newmalware, even if you’re the very

malicious program isn’t yet in
Adaware’s database of known
threats. The malware can then be
safely contained and removed.

so you can keep it handy on a
USB stick, or your cloud storage
service of choice (it’s only 591MB,
though it does generate log files,which will take up a little extra
room). The app will run on any
PC with Windows 7, 8 or 10
installed, and only uses around
200MB of RAM.
Like any malware removal tool,
Emsisoft Emergency Kit has a
database of current threats, and
the PC you’re cleaning needs an
internet connection so the
software can check for updates.
Once it’s updated itself, it scans
the PC for threats and quarantines
anything it finds to stop it doing
further damage to your system.
After a quick reboot, the files will
be deleted.RATING
