BitDefender QuickScan: Cloud Scanner

[sujay]

Whenever you need a quick check or a second opinion, such as before logging into your favorite game, when using your bank account or buying something online, use Quickscan, directly from your browser.

BitDefender QuickScan takes full advantage of the "in-the-cloud"� scanning service and is capable to detect active malware in less than a minute, taking just a fraction of the system resources needed by a regular virus scan.

Please note that Quickscan does not provide a virus cleaning service. If quickscan detects a threat, it is advisable to use an antivirus service (such as the one provided at www.malwarecity.com/scan8/ie.html )

Privacy and safety information:
Quickscan does not modify or delete any file on your system and only uploads executable files for checking (i.e. NO documents or other data files are sent)

It is an extension of Google chrome and is extremely useful.

You can also use the online scanner to scan from any browser. It scans only critical system areas.



Thanks to acr for letting me know about it.

Yes, very interesting... I liked the online scanner more as it supports all browsers.

I installed it.... too late, since I haven't noticed this

What a pity

What a pity

That's why I didn't installed it.

That's why I didn't installed it.

That's why I immediately uninstalled it

Thanks sujay for the info.

I uninstalled it too. I thought it had context menu scanning for individual files but apparently not.

This looks promising- LinkExtend for Chrome. All historical scanners, McAfee SiteAdvisor, Norton, PC Tools, WOT, Web Security Guard (Spyware Terminator), Complete and Google Safe Browsing. It still has several bugs but hopefully they get worked out soon.
