Simple and lightweight antivirus program for PC

Universal Virus Sniffer is free antivirus software for PC developed by Dmitriy Kuznetzoff. It's a simple and lightweight program that can help users scan for viruses and any other potential threats like malware on their computers and be able to remove them safely and completely.

What makes Universal Virus Sniffer stand out from solutions like Avast Free Antivirus or 360 Total Security is that it offers multiple work modes and scanning methods to choose from depending on the need or requirement. It also supports scripts for importing additional virus signatures or performing automated and scheduled scans.

How do I start using it?

Universal Virus Sniffer features a simple yet effective user interface that provides you with a lot of options at a glance. It has three operating modes to choose from, namely active, active without network access, or remote system. Choose the one you want, and it will immediately perform a scan of your selected machine. There's an extra fourth mode that will let you check an OS image, too.

This program will then inform you of any anomalies in your system. You have various actions to choose from, including deleting the entry, resetting its attributes, or uploading it to a virus database that you can upload and share online. If you're looking to inspect a specific type of virus, you program a list of multiple lists and categories that you can browse through, as well.

What's more, it supports the use of scripts that you can trigger for various purposes like automated periodical scans and importing or exporting virus definitions, just to name a few. These are just some of the things that you can expect if you decide to give this antivirus program a shot. As such, you might encounter a slight learning curve at first with the number of options available to you.

Direct and to the point

Overall, Universal Virus Sniffer is a solid optionto consider if you're looking for a lightweight and straightforward antivirus program to use on your PC. It's fast, offers multiple modes, and has plenty of options that let you customize your scans. The ability to browse through virus databases is also a nice touch. Outside of some learning difficulties, this one is recommended.
