Question about the Avast free worm Cleaner
« on: March 26, 2010, 02:31:15 PM »
I noticed there is a free virus worm cleaner available to download.

Is this a program that I would run weekly like the anti-virus, or do I run the worm cleaner only if Avast Anti-virus detects a problem?

Thanks.

It was a viruscleaner made for cleaning a limited number of virus (worms). I think the last update was in 2007 ..!..?

Use Malwarebytes and superantispyware as extra scanners

I've have Malwarebytes installed. :)

For the avast cleaner, 2007 is very old, I wonder why they are not updating it more frequently?

In a way they are, bc avast antivirus is doing the same job.......if there was a need for it i guess they would have done it.... ???
