LocaL Multi-Engine Antivirus?

[xje4bv]

First of all, to clarify matters, I'm looking for offline multi AV scanners, not online scanners like Jotti and VirusTotal. I found KIMS 1.2 and Multi AV Scan by gakh but the former was unavailable to update and as for the latter, I had to download the pre-database of the various AVs, meaning I had to download approximately 320 MB. Now, I was wondering if there was any other local multi antivirus scanners aside from these two? TIA.

I believe there was a blog article about 1 but only on-demand scanners. Too bad i don't know the address of the article

Was it this one? http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/01/09/scan-your-computer-with-multiple-anti-virus-for-free/

@Odie, I saw that but I meant a program that gets virus signatures from most major AV vendors and then runs the scan, like the two posted above. Anyone wants links, I'll post them. Just ask.

Yes, that is the one. There are so many articles searching for a specific one is difficult for me

There's another one called Multi AV Fixer.

I actually planned to write about this for a very long time but didn't have the time to do it.
A lot of time needed to download hundreds of megabytes of antivirus program and installing on my test computer.

Ok, found a list here, for those who want it. Thanks to everyone.

Running those (MULTIPLE) AV scanners at the same time has a significant impact on ur system - why not try GDATA 2009*
