ESET Online Scanner can detect malware infections on your computer and remove them. It works similarly to other security solutions out there, but its main advantage is the fact that you don't have to install anything on your computer. It is a light tool for quick, one-time scans of your computer. If you suspect an infection on your computer, but you don't have time to set up a proper anti-virus program, you can use this piece of software to quickly assess the situation and even solve it if possible.

The software is absolutely free. It works on all modern Windows platforms and it doesn't need to be installed. You can just download and run one executable file. Furthermore, it doesn't have any special requirements and it doesn't interfere with other security measures you may have installed on your computer.

The basic idea of ESET Online Scanner is to just download it and run it and start scanning immediately. When launched, the software will place several options in front of you, for enabling or disabling a detection feature for potentially unwanted, unsafe or suspicious applications. Additionally, you can set it to scan archives, clean threats automatically and enable an anti-stealth technology.

Regardless of what settings you want to make, you only need to click a few check boxes. When you are ready, you can just hit the Scan option to start analyzing your system for any threats. It may take some time to complete the process, since the software has to download a large number of definitions. Also, although it doesn't conflict with other security software, ESET Online Scanner may be slowed down if you have one installed.

When the scanning is complete, the software will present a detailed report. If any infections or suspicious programs are found, you will have the option of removing them. Once you're done cleaning up, you can just close the software and return to your normal routine.

When it comes to a quick and effective malware sweep on your system, ESET Online Scanner is definitely the right tool for the job.

Pros

The software can scan your computer for malware infections and other threats. It can detect potentially unwanted and suspicious applications. It doesn't need to be installed, so you can start scanning right away.

Cons

The software can be a bit slow, especially if other security programs are installed.
