Re: [Need Info] Does an anti-virus 'scanner only' exist for XPsp

Thanks for your responses so far.
I have tried Avast and it is exactly NOT what I'm after. (It installed pieces that ran in the background, and was terrible at uninstalling itself.
I'm looking at ClamWin--anyone that can verify no background processes and uninstallability [sic] on this one?

edit: answer to earlier question: manual scans only

Sounds like your looking for an older program like antidote »www.antidote.ua/en/download_free
»www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/···ee.shtml

Hope it helps.....

Why not just use an online scanner then... Housecall maybe?
