Anti-Virus multi-scanner

[Max Wachtel]

I found this useful tool called HandyScan. You can use it to scan
files using multiple scanners. You need to have the scanners already
on your system. For example I have(all free)BitDefender,Avast,AntiVir
AVG,Sysclean(from TrendMicro),A^2,Bazooka all set using HandyScan.

Thanks

I just installed A² to compliment Kaspersky AV. How do you like it ?
I didn't like the surprise of having to give my e-mail addy and
register<at no cost, of course> before I could use it...After
installing it. Seems they could let you know that up front and collect
the info before downloading and installing it.
I prob just missed some fine print somewhere ?
Had I not read some good reviews in a forum, I would have un-installed
it right then....hope I don't start getting a lot of spam....
Have you ever had Bazooka find anything ? I've had it installed for a
good while..never found anything ?
You might want to add Winsonar to your arsenal ?
Free..check it out at http://www.majorgeeks.com/download1075.html

dunno if it's spyware but probably undesirable if they haven't changed their ways. . . a different
app by the same people:

Program: HandyBits
Author: Teknum Systems AS.
W: NR
http://www.handybits.com/hbc2002.htm

a few snippets from ACF posts about it:

Just a word of warning ...handybits installation leaves teknum system entries and .dll files in
windows system that do not automatically uninstall.

If you believe them, the "update service" CAN be suspended, using their own tool.

The snide way in which it is otherwise established and maintained - using a parasitic hook on the
rightclick menu - SSMENU.DLL in Windows\System does not inspire confidenc, though!
----------
I would beware of any handybits software , as my experience of it in the
past ,suggests it installs a parasitic upddater aka teknum systems.It
installs in system folders and is very hard to remove.See handybits
privacy...

I did not know that, I will get rid of it and run some cleaning tools.
Thanks for the info.

if you are looking to integrate multiple AVs into a proprietary solution (e.g. file upload server mechanism, virus total-like solution), you may want to check Metascan.
