Ewido Antispyware Micro Scanner

review by ClifNotes, Updated Sep 2008, Jun 2006 • permalink • Adware & Spyware Removal

Did you know that Ewido offers an online scanner if you have a browser that uses ActiveX (Internet Explorer)? If you don't use IE, then you can download and use their micro scanner. It's a very small download, and all you have to do is double click the file to run it. Once it's running, it downloads the latest malware signatures in preparation for scanning your PC. After I used it the first time, it found almost two hundred tracking cookies that I had neglected removing.

It's only 150k, portable, but does require a live internet connection for updates.
