Submit portable freeware that you find here. It helps if you include information like description, extraction instruction, Unicode support, whether it writes to the registry, and so on.
so what to do when this or any other program like it does not work?

If it doesn't work still, you need to find some utility (I forgot which, sorry...) that enables you the see the the deep Windows path to it (something started with \.\\ or \?\\)...

Anyone still using Win7 should probably take a look at some of the options this provides. I somewhat prefer the novirusthanks approach to turning off systems versus many privacy tools, because of the way it addresses what it will break. After all, disabling some functions may help privacy but do they break your features?
on "NoVirusThanks" antiware, their 3 tool, tests completes: hijack hunter, maleware remover, zues anti rootkit.
These apps test well! they are very light, and with a ASSISTANT SCANNER (they will not 100% replace other scanners) like: Clamwin or the Dragokas fork of Hijack this (or an online tool)
They become POWERFUL removal tools, the anti-maleware even caught 19 of 20 sample files I tested it with
A small note, they offer "direct" removal tools also, ideal for detected but tricky malware.
OVERALL 8/10, perfect as a secondary "Anti-Stuff" tool.
Similar, but their software is "still current" to: SIMPLE MACHINE PROTECT v1.9.4, although their ("NoVirusThanks") tools are all stand alone
