I was reading an old article from Brien Posey about a head to head comparison of Antivirus products and was surprised to find another antivirus manufacturer. This article is located here. The company is named Hauri and can be found here.
I fully understand that the presense of yet another antivirus manufacturer is not impossible or out of the ordinary but the results of Brien's tests when using their software were quite positive. With that being said, I looked into Hauri and found a removal tool for a virus that has been known to be very much a pain in the butt to remove. I know this fact from first hand experience. The virus I'm referring to is "Virut". I had a "run-in" with virut earlier this year and found out first hand just how tough this one is to try to remove. While looking at the Hauri site, I happened across their removal utilities and found a removal tool for Virut that seems to be updated quite frequently. These tools can be found here along with quite a few others. Now, to make myself very clear, I'm not pushing this product as being the "end-all-be-all" in antivirus products nor am I in any way, shape, or form associated with Hauri I'm just throwing this out there for the general knowledge that it seems there is an antivirus company that "may have" come up with a way to remove the Virut virus. I'm hoping this information will be of use to someone and that hopefully it will lead to the actual removal of Virut from someone's computer in the near future. I cannot attest to it's effectiveness on removing Virut as I have not come across it again as of late. For those who do not know the name Brien Posey, you can read about him and who he is here. ***Note to Admins*** If I have placed this message in the incorrect area, please move it to a more appropriate spot in the forums. Hope this helps, -------------------- Techextreme

Thank you for this useful website, but I have a question here: Is it true that the antivirus keeps all the viruses that was captured and when uninstalling it , it will release them?

sound really good with your software tool suppports. I also have a good antivirus and it is working superb way. It detects the virus effects files afirst and delete them without hampering OS.
