If you operate your own computer repair business, or are simply “the one” that always gets called on to fix family and friends computers then this handy utility called Dr.Web CureIt! should be copied to your flash drive right away. The applications is a portable virus scanner that requires no installation and can be run from a USB flash drive. It comes in handy when you are fixing a virus issue where web access isn’t as good as it could be or where you are unable to install a virus scanner for some reason.
To download the small 16.5MB application just click the link above and hit the download button on the freedrweb page. Once downloaded simply copy the executable file to your flash drive and when ever you need a quick virus scan to be run you just load the exe file and a window pops up asking you to either check for updates or run a virus scan. Click on Start and after a few moments the window below will popup…
The virus scan will start up automatically and at this point, just let it run right to the end.
It’s ideal for carrying around as a number of times I have gone to fix PC problems they have lacked the basic tools which are hard to get hold of in some cases.
