Antivirus Doctor

Antivirus Doctor is a handy tool designed to keep your computer safe from all sorts of threats. This includes viruses, spyware, trojans, and other pesky malicious programs. It’s like having a digital bodyguard for your PC!

Easy to Use Interface

One of the best things about Antivirus Doctor is how easy it is to use. The interface has two main sections: one lets you pick the drive you want to scan, while the other shows you a list of any viruses it finds. Super simple!

Custom Scanning Options

The app only offers custom scans, which means you can select specific places on your computer that you think might be infected. This can include local drives, network drives, CD-ROMs, USB devices, or even single files and folders. Plus, it can check archives too!

How Scanning Works

Once you've chosen where to scan, just hit the 'Start Scan' button and let Antivirus Doctor do its thing! It uses the ClamAV engine version 0.95.2 to spot any dangerous files lurking around.

Scan Results

You can stop the scan whenever you want. When it’s done, you'll see how long it took and a list of any harmful files detected. If needed, you can delete them with just one click!

Limitations to Consider

Keep in mind that Antivirus Doctor doesn’t remember your previous choices for scanning locations. Sometimes errors pop up during scans which can stop everything in its tracks. Also, there isn’t a quarantine feature included – meaning infected files can't be moved away to prevent further spread.

Not a Permanent Solution

While this app is user-friendly, it might struggle with newer and more powerful viruses out there. Since it doesn’t provide real-time protection or have some essential features found in other security software options, it's probably not wise to rely on it as your main antivirus solution.
