On every forum you always hear heated discussion about what the best anti virus is, but lets switch it up a bit...
Whats the best portable antivirus to date. I do alot of tech work... and to carry around a portable antivirus would be great.
Right now to fix viruses I install zone alarm extreme security and have to reboot and all, to make a long story short I'm looking for something more convenient.
Free or pirated you name it.
My choice goes to NOD32. Googling "portable nod32 2.7" plus the current month and year should be enough to find one.Quote:

As far as I know that's not possible, you'll have to grab the latest portable every month. They include the latest virus definitions at the time of their release.
I couldn't find the specific release you were speaking of, but I managed to obtain some one on warez-bb.Quote:

¿Qué te hace pensar que no puedo entender el español
lol... I used google translation for that.

I'm all for eset, so far the best imo
for portability I use Dr.Web CureIT no need to update because the definitions are in the program, when there is an update you download a new version
i`m using antivirus program avast
individual is for free
kaspersky is good!!
This is a really useful thread, I havent used antivirus for a while now cause it slows my computer down, but now with this portable antivirus i dont have to worry about that!
Most if not all portable antivirus programs don't have real-time scanning, though.
If I need a one time scan, I just use an online scanner. Eset or f-secure.
Eset
Seen as you asked specifically for a portable AV to cure other peoples PC of nasties, You could try a very powerfull free commanline AV called a2cmd, I've tried and tested it for nearly a year with great results,you can have it just check and NOT remove the nasties so you can look at the log and show your family or customers the viruses/trojans thats on the PC, or you can have it encrypt and quarantine the nasties, Its up to you. http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/cmd/ If you want to use it without having to type the cammands in,you can run a script with all the cammands in to make it easy for you,1 script for quarantine 1 script for scanning and logging etc or you can mix and match to suit the situation like a quick scan or a indepth scan that can take many hrs
Quote from that link:
I didn't even know those two engines existed. Nice find.Quote:
For system administrators, security experts, and experienced commandline users. Check your system for malware infection with the Commandline Scanner. It includes all functions of the Anti-Malware scanner and both the top scan engines (Emsisoft Anti-Malware and Ikarus Antivirus).
you can get the latest eset smart security 4.0 portable, even updates and take it where you want, also i have a disc with 7 major anti virus programs for scanning. spybot would be the most efective and for that to be portable just copy the program files to a thumb drive and go, works great !
Glad i could help,hope they do the trick for you to keep those pesky trojans at bay
i think NOD32 is the best in my opinion
I onl use NOD32
avira
kaspersky
Norton 2010 is good
Didn't know there was a portable version.Quote:
