I found a free tool, which claims to detect and remove major viruses. It is able detect and remove the following virus: Sober, MyDoom, Bagle, Sasser, Zafi, Netsky, Nimda, Klez, Mytob, Kelvir, Mabutu, Somefool, Korgo, Openstream, Serflog, Sumon, Crog, Bropia, Conycspa, Assiral, Inforyou, Wallz, Samll, Zar, Phel, Golten, Bofra, Renepo, Funner, Nyxem, Brador, Duts, Scob, Toofer, Cabir, Rile, Puce, Muce, Agent, Bobax, Wallon, Beagle, Gaobot, Agobot, Mimail, Simcss, Magicon, Wintrim, Persis, Francette, Thumbi, Ghosts, Delude, Hatoy, Torvil, Torvel, Swen, Gibe, Sobig, Dumaru, Welchia, Nachi, Msblaster, Blaster, Lovsan, Mylife, Randex, Slanper, Sluter, Sbbot, Bug Bear, Fortnight, Palyh, Fizzer, Lovgate, Rolark, Spybot, Ganda, Codered, Deloder, Slammer, Lirva, Naith, Avril, Gpcode, Wurmark, Eyeveg, Lanieca, Cipie, Adan, Vundo, Virtumonde, Nopir, VB-9, puper, popilos, banwarum, Bifrose, Padodor, SdBot, Sality, Dropper, Lineage, Pakes, Banker, Goldun, LdPinch, Hupigon, Dadobra, Centim, RDevil, Haxdoor, Hotmatom, Mokul, Antinny, Antilam, Banbra, BattlePong, ChodeBot, Mosucker, Okanpi, Winshell, Blackmal (Nyxem), Yamanner, Mocbot, Opanki, Stration, Warezov, Abox, Peacomm/Downloader, Common dialers and Common trojans.

Did you get blinded by the list of virus that it’s able to detect and remove? The above list is NOT even the comprehensive list of virus that can be detected and removed. Best part is, it’s free and I can confirm that it’s portable so you can carry it in your USB flash drive.

Multi Virus Cleaner is a free, stand-alone utility used to detect and remove major viruses.

It is not a substitute for full anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist administrators and users when cleaning infected systems. Multi Virus Cleaner is regularly updated and can detect over 5,500 common viruses, worms, trojans and dialers (including all variants of the Sober, MyDoom and Bagle viruses). The program boasts a fast, user-friendly scanner that requires minimal processing power and is an excellent choice for repairing a compromised system.

Even though Multi Virus Cleaner is able to detect over 5,500 common viruses, worms, trojans and dialers, but I don’t think it is able to detect and remove Brontok virus. Nevertheless, it’s still a very good and useful tool for a computer guy to carry with.

If you want to carry this tool in your USB flash drive, locate the following location “C:\Program Files\AxBx\Multi Virus Cleaner 2007″ and copy the whole Multi Virus Cleaner 2007 folder to your USB flash drive. You only need to run MVC.exe to start Multi Virus Cleaner 2007.

For the time being, you’ll need to download the setup package whenever a new or updated version of Multi Virus Cleaner is out. I hope that the author of Multi Virus Cleaner 2007 would include a liveupdate feature to this tool for easy updates rather than downloading the whole setup package and installing it every time when the latest version is out.
