SOPHOS SCAN & CLEAN





FREE VIRUS REMOVAL WITH SOPHOS SCAN & CLEAN

Download 64-bit Download 32-bit

For 32-bit and 64-bit versions Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, and Windows 7


Not sure which version you need?

If you’re wondering which version of the Windows OS you have, you can check by
right-clicking the Start button in Windows 10 and selecting System. For Windows
7 and 8 just click System in the Control Panel.

Modern viruses and malware are designed to bypass standard defenses, as advanced
threats effectively hide from both pre-installed security software and computer
users. Antivirus programs, blacklists, and other security software that require
prior threat knowledge are ineffective against detecting and removing advanced
virus attacks.

Sophos Scan & Clean is a free, no-install, second-opinion virus removal scanner
designed to rescue computers that have become infected with advanced zero-day
malware, spyware, Trojans, rootkits, and other threats capable of evading
real-time protection from up-to-date antivirus software.

It's a powerful virus removal tool capable of both detecting and removing deeply
embedded persistent threats and other malware that traditional security
solutions fail to detect.


HOW TO USE SOPHOS SCAN & CLEAN

Simply download and run the program, register your email address, choose your
settings, and click the "OK" button to begin a scan.

As an on-demand scanner, Sophos Scan & Clean does not need to be installed in
order to use it. It can be started directly from USB flash drives, portable
SSD's, and other external drives or data storage devices, making it particularly
useful in situations where malicious virus infection prevents downloading and
installing new security software.


AUTOMATIC SECURITY UPDATES WITH EVERY SCAN

Sophos Scan & Clean removes viruses and threats while the OS is running and
blocks re-infection by protecting registry keys and file locations. Plus, thanks
to proprietary cloud technology, Sophos Scan & Clean is always up to date – no
need to re-install to get updates each time the program is run.

Proprietary Cloud-Assisted Miniport Hook Bypass technology allows Scan & Clean
to defeat rootkit and bootkit hooks for any hard disk driver. Behavioral Scans
automatically find and remove programs and binaries that look and act like
malware; probing the system for characteristic reputation anomalies, origin and
relation to memory, file and registry objects, structure anomalies,
impersonation, tampering, visibility, activity, boot survivability and
uninstallation abilities.

Secure your computer with the most advanced antivirus technology on the market
today - for free. Download Sophos Scan & Clean today.
