Exterminate It! 1.39.02.04 is the latest released version of this anti-malware utility for Windows. There is a trial version available for downloading directly from the developer’s website. It is very easy to install and use and it has a smart and intuitive interface. The most recent version of Exterminate It! has been updated and enhanced. It can be extremely useful for novice users as it does not require any computing knowledge. We can update the spyware database at any time. It will scan the whole computer and detect any malware we may have in our system. Nevertheless, the evaluation version has limited features and, in order to remove the infection, we should purchase the full-featured product. We can have our computer free from infections with just 3 clicks: 1. Press Scan button. 2. Once the results are presented, check the infected item. 3. Click Exterminate, and that’s it! There is a FAQ list and Support at the author’s website. We are allowed to send any suspected item for examination to the support team. It runs under the following operating systems: Windows Vista, XP, 2000.
v2.0 [Dec 8, 2011]
New scanning interface with new scan modes, such as:
-Memory Scan – the fastest one, scanning only files in memory, which means that if the virus is currently active it will be located and eliminated as fast as possible;
-Smart Scan – a type of scan pointed at effectiveness and checking the most vulnerable parts of your system using System Heuristic methods;
-Full Scan – the most complete scan of your system also using System Heuristic methods;
-Custom Scan – a scan that allows you to choose parts of the system that need to be scanned. The System Heuristic methods are enabled automatically when you choose “most likely to infect” option.
We made a huge update on virus and malware database, so from now on we can detect nearly all possible threats.
More frequent database updates: few times per day, instead of a daily update in the previous version.
The ability to fix infected files instead of deleting them.
Bootsector scan added.
The ability to choose drive, external drive or folder for scanning in the Custom Scan mode.
The update can now resume download if it was terminated for some reason.
A scan log with all the scan results is now available after the scanning is finished.
New commandline options for the scan:
-silent – scanning without notifying the user;
-force-close – close the software after the scan;
-scan-log – save scan results into another file.
