On several occasions where the Vipre Rescue was run it did indeed find and remove a lot of stuff but it sure would be nice to have a self booting version that does not rely on the OS of the machine to work.

I've been working a contract that is migrating a mix of Symantec SAV/SEP and McAfee VSE 8.0/8.5 to McAfee VSE8.7 ( not by my choice ) but I am involved in establishing procedures for field staff to remediate end user computer issues, and the topic of third party tools has come up in discussions at least a few times due to incidents where the above products did not catch certain malware. One manager had thrown out the idea of licensing malwarebytes ( which I know is a different tool ) but I'd like to provide an alternative, portable AV product that does NOT need to be installed to the OS. I'm recommending that they add the VipreRescue to their field staff 'toolkit' ( normal procedure is to remove an infected system from the wire, so they will still be using a USB memory stick to transfer the current version to the system they're working on, likely grabbed from their field laptop or a neighboring known good workstation ) Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ' Security is an ongoing process, not a one time event !

Anyone can download and run this command line scanner, for any kind of environment, private, business, govmint, anywhere.... It gets updated every day with new definitions, so downloading it on a stick is not really the best approach.
