Online Scanner

Alongside using our EU-Cleaner, it is advisable to examine your system with help from an online scanner. Online scanners have the advantage that they do not have to be installed and can be run straight from a browser.

Please note that an online scanner does not replace any permanently installed anti-virus software!

The examination by an online scanner can take several hours depending on configuration, the amount of data and the number of programs installed on your computer.

A selection of free online scanners:

  • Emsisoft Web Malware Scan
  • F-Secure Online Scanner
  • Panda Online Scanner
  • Trendmicro Housecall Online Scanner
