Dr.Web CureIt is a standalone anti-virus and anti-spyware scanner that scans your PC for viruses, trojans, adware, spyware, hack tools, rootkits, and other malware.
The program does not require an installation and can be run from a USB drive. This is an on-demand scanner only, it can detect and remove virus infections but does not provide any real-time protection.
Dr.Web CureIt is based on the ICSA certified Dr. Web scanning engine and should provide reliable detection.
Pros: No installation needed; scans for a wide range of viruses
Cons: No real-time protection; updates require re-download of the entire program

Sorry if this has already been covered -
Do i need to uninstall my installed anti-virus in order to use the portable one? Will there be any conflicts or compatibility issues?
Just a bit concerned as we all know you should have only one anti-virus program!
Or maybe i’m getting paranoid here. Thanks in advance.

Hi Chrissie
You don’t need to uninstall any existing anti-virus in your system, thats the beauty of these portable anti-virus. You can use it anytime, anywhere you want.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I think i knew the answer, but self-doubt is a terrible thing, i just needed confirmation from an expert. Thanks for putting my mind at rest
PS - Keep up the good work, it is good to have someone to trust when it comes to security for our PCs
