Trellix Stinger Portable
Free and portable utility aimed at the detection and removal of specific malwares.
Description
Trellix Stinger Portable is a free and portable utility aimed at detecting and removing specific malware, such as common viruses and fake alerts, on demand. Formerly known as McAfee Stinger, this software does not replace a full antivirus but serves as a practical tool for handling point infections, especially useful for system administrators or users who need a lightweight and straightforward solution. With a compact size, the program requires no installation, allowing it to be run directly from a USB drive or any folder on Windows. Its interface is simple and functional: just start it, select the areas to be scanned (such as running processes, Windows registry, boot sectors, and directories), and click to begin. It employs advanced scanning technology, including rootkit analysis and performance optimization, being capable of identifying threats such as GameOver Zeus and CryptoLocker. Trellix Stinger Portable is frequently updated to detect recent variants of prevalent malware, and it is possible to customize actions upon finding threats, such as repairing, removing, renaming, or simply reporting suspicious files. Perfect for those seeking a complementary solution to the main antivirus, this software is recommended for emergency use or for checking suspicious systems, functioning without conflicts with other installed security tools.
