A stand alone utility produced my McAfee, AVERT Stinger is used to detect and remove  specific viruses. Not a complete antivirus package, Stinger acts as a tool to help dealwith infected systems. A good solution when it comes to removing particular viruses from the system.

Some of the key features of Stinger include:

. Utilization of Next Generation Scan Engine technology. This is inclusive of scan performance optimizations, digitally signed DAT files and process scanning.

. Available for free in the market, Stinger does not require much space and hence keeps the system load to a minimum.

. Continuous updates enable detection and removal of the latest viruses hence keeping the computer secure.

Version 10.0.0.546 of Stinger includes detection for all known variants :
