avast! Virus Cleaner

The avast! Virus Cleaner is a highly effective tool that assists in removing selected virus and worm infections from your computer. However, it is important to note that this tool does not replace your antivirus program.

When your computer is infected by a virus or worm, the virus typically schedules itself to run automatically when the operating system starts. This can often prove to be a challenging task to remove, as the removal of the worm file alone might result in the inability of the operating system to start applications such as the Explorer.

To address this issue, the avast! Virus Cleaner has been created to provide additional fixes in your system registry, delete the links from your Startup Folder, and remove the worm from your computer. This is done while ensuring that your system operates correctly after the disinfection process.

Moreover, many worms often create temporary or additional files on your hard disk which are otherwise harmless but unnecessary. To resolve this issue, the avast! Virus Cleaner detects and removes these files once it detects and removes the worm present on your computer. The same applies to worm-specific registry entries.

While the tool does not require booting up your computer in the Safe Mode, avast! Virus Cleaner has the ability to deactivate viruses present in memory. Essentially, all you have to do is start the tool, and it will take care of everything.

Finally, the significant feature of avast! Virus Cleaner is its removal capability of several worm families such as Badtrans, Beagle, Blaster, BugBear, Ganda, Klez/Elkern, MiMail, Mydoom, Nachi/Welchia, Netsky, Nimda, Opas (aka Opasoft, Opaserv), Parite, Sasser, Scold, Sircam, Sober, Sobig, Swen (incl. UPX var.), Yaha (aka Lentin) all var., and Zafi (A -B.).
