Hi Brandon,

If you mean an on demand scanner, I would use Malwarebytes.

They call it a free trial now, but you can use it free as long as you like, if you update and scan manually.

Malwarebytes.org

Hope it helps

Hi Brandon,

Glad you like it.

If you ever get an infection , it is worth running another one after you have run Malwarebytes, just to be sure.

SuperAntiSpyware free is a good one for that. Make sure you click the link to the free one, as there are several on the page.
