Sophos Virus Removal Tool for windows is a free program to detect and eliminate viruses, Trojans, spyware rootkits and all forms of other types of malware from computers.
Scanning commences almost instantly upon installing the program and being open, and includes not only files on hard drives and connected removable drives but also registry entries and contents of cache memory. After scanning is completed we can learn of unwanted guests on our system with one click; should any cached threats still exist after rebooting then additional scanning should take place to get rid of them. Virus Removal Tool may detect caching threats which require restarting before continuing its scan process.
To launch the program from a command line interface, launch the SVRTcli.exe app (found in your main program folder) with one or more parameters from this list:
- debug – Display program logs;
- help provides an alphabetized listing of available commands; use with caution!
- noupdate – prevents downloading updates after starting up the program
- preview does not remove threats
- Restarts the system if necessary * Pauses the current scan
- Uninstall-complete-systemcleanscan
- Yes – this business cleans without asking permission first.
Sophos Virus Removal Tool downlaod for pc provides an alternative protection from malware for users with limited patience for traditional, more powerful antivirus solutions.
Attention!
This application works independently from other antivirus programs installed on the system but may interfere with scanners running simultaneously; during tests, Avira AntiVir scanner blocked access to detected threats and had to be temporarily disabled in order to gain entry.
