AVERT 2.1

[JohnW]

AVERT (Automatic Virus Eradication & Removal Tool) is an application designed to help facilitate the removal of malware on an already infected machine. It is stated to be a portable app that can run a variety of scanning software to remove infections.

Supported scanners are stated to be ...Asquared, ClamWin, Trend Micro, Panda, Sophos, Avira, VIPRE, VBA32 and AVG.

Scanning, logging and quarantine/removal is automatic
Updates are automatic.

It is customisable; additional scanners/tools may be included.

The program is already set up to expect CCleaner

The scanners/tools are not pre-installed.

From the point of view of PFC the obvious no-no is the fact that this requires .NET Framework 2.0+
That doesn't matter to me and I suspect that in the fullness of time PFC will recognise this as a silly restriction.

I think this is potentially a useful "toolkit" app.

Restriction? That's not accurate. There are already a few .net applications in the DB.

Personally with .NET applications, if the program is unique and an alternative can't be found then I think its worthy of being (at least) considered.
For example Transmute is unique in its features and I have been unsuccessful in finding a truly "Portable" counterpart.
