Healing utilities for home PC. Doctor Web: how to check your PC online for malware for free

Dr.WebCureit is a free curing utility, which without antivirus will check your PC for dangerous viruses and infected files, as well as neutralize the found malware.

If you already have antivirus software installed on your computer, healing utility will work as an additional scanner (virus search engine).

The utility instantly finds the problem and reports it. In the settings menu, a wide range of functions that the user can use to check file system. At the same time, the threats that the disinfecting utility detects will be sorted on the desktop into a separate folder.

But it should be noted that the scanner is not able to act as a full-fledged replacement.
The utility is not able to organize computer protection while working with websites, checking mail, watching movies online.

Cureit only finds existing problems and disinfects the computer upon infection, in other words, Dr.WebCureit does not work ahead of the curve, but cures only after the virus has already entered the computer.

It is not very pleasant that the program is not able to auto-update (update does not happen automatically). To perform computer diagnostics with the help, you will have to visit the official website of the program and from there download the updated version of the application. Otherwise old version programs will not work effectively with new threats (the latest versions of viruses and other spyware), which can lead to very disastrous consequences (starting from the crash of Windows and ending with the irretrievable loss of important information on the hard drive).

Therefore, keep in mind that the software is updated every 2 hours, and downloading today new version scanner, tomorrow it will be outdated and not as functional in the fight against new viruses.

You can run the healing utility from a USB flash drive or other storage medium, which, of course, is very convenient, especially if you want to quickly diagnose your computer for viruses and eliminate foci of infection.

This anti-virus utility is an excellent addition to the anti-virus already installed on the computer (for example, DrWeb, etc.).
This anti-virus scanner is able to provide fast and high-quality treatment of the system when the file system is damaged as a result of the actions of dangerous viruses.

It is noteworthy that using the program is simple and convenient, and almost any user can handle it. Additionally, we note that when Dr.WebCureit is launched, there are no problems with the installed antivirus.
After checking and treating the system (if necessary), the program automatically exits operating system and restarts the computer.

Key Features Dr Web Cureit

The beauty of Dr. Web Curate is largely in its simplicity. Although the scanner does not require installation, it contains many of the configuration options and comprehensive scanning capabilities you would expect from a full version Doctor Web antivirus.

Dr Web Cureit is based on an ICSA certified scan engine that provides reliable detection. The program is offered as executable file, which only needs to be double-clicked to run and, in many cases, is the only viable solution.

After all, as you know, viruses or spyware programs often try to block the installation of a new antivirus or PC protection application, so this is really a big advantage.

and "Custom" - with a brief description presented in the right pane of the main window.

The express mode (quick scan) will scan the boot sectors of all disks, RAM, startup objects, the Windows root directory, the boot drive root directory, the user's system directory and document directory, as well as the user's temporary directory and temporary folders.

After checking your PC, Cureit will provide a list of problems and offer you a solution.

The application is not too "heavy" on the system resources, so you can continue to work while the scan is in progress, although this is not recommended until the entire scanning process has completed.

It should be remembered that Doctor Web Curate is an "on-demand scanner" only, it can detect and remove a virus, but does not provide real-time protection. This requires the installation of the full version of Doctor Web antivirus.
