To protect your computer from all sorts of viruses (worms, Trojans), you can choose any anti-virus complex. For one reason or another, some users cannot use antivirus software. In this regard, online check systems have been developed. All that is required from a computer user is to launch a browser and go to the site.
Necessary
any internet browser
Instructions
Step 1
Recently, online scanners have become very popular. Not every user has the opportunity to buy and install an anti-virus computer protection system: someone because of their illiteracy, someone out of despair (the installed anti-virus missed the "infection" on the hard drive). In any case, using the scanning system allows you to check the files or folders you have selected.
Step 2
The list of such services, today, is no longer small. Here are just a few:
- Kaspersky Online Virus Scanner;
- McAfee Free Scan;
- Windows Live One Care online safety scan;
- Panda ActiveScan;
- Symantec Security Check.
Step 3
We will only consider Kaspersky Online Virus Scanner. According to many users, it does the most complete file analysis. To start working with this service, you need to open a browser and enter this address kaspersky.com/virusscanner. On the loaded page, you will read the basic requirements for working with this service. But you can skip reading if you urgently need to check files for infection. Just click the Kaspersky File Scanner button.
Step 4
You will be transferred to another page, where you will be asked to upload files for verification. To perform this action, click the "Select File" button. In the window that opens, using the navigation buttons, find the files or folders that you want to check.
Step 5
Click the Check button. After a while, you will be shown the scan results of the selected files. By examining the table with the name "Scan statistics", you can judge the presence or absence of files infected with a virus.
