FireLite

FireLite is a handy tool that acts as a scan-only version of the Fire Anti-virus software. It comes with some limited features, but it packs a punch when it comes to detecting viruses! This software uses an incredible scanning engine that's known for its performance.

Detects Over 52,000 Viruses

The high-speed scan engine can spot more than 52,470 viruses, including some really nasty ones like the Klez worm and its variants, BadTrans.B, and Nimda worm. You'll also find threats like the SirCam Worm and I-Worm/BadTrans on its radar. Plus, it recognizes dangerous viruses like Win32/Magistr and Hybris (also known as Hahaha worm). If you're worried about newer threats, don't fret! FireLite can also detect recent viruses such as VBS/HomePage (aka VBSWG.X) and CodeRed worm.

Comprehensive Virus Detection

This scanning engine isn't just good at spotting common viruses; it's designed to identify older DOS-based boot and file viruses too. It covers Windows-based viruses, backdoors, Trojans, spy tools, VB Script and Java Script viruses—basically everything you want to keep away from your computer. Even Corel files and MDB viruses don't stand a chance against it! And yes, it can also catch those infamous Word and Excel macro viruses.

Enhanced Heuristic Engine

The heuristic and polymorphic detection capabilities have gotten even better over time. This means it's smarter about recognizing new types of threats based on their behavior rather than just relying on known virus definitions.

Limitations of FireLite

Limitations:

• The program only provides scanning capabilities; it cannot remove any detected viruses.
