Thus, it is useful to have an antivirus tool in your rescue environment. Whenever I have to troubleshoot a PC in offline mode, I scan for malware first, just to be sure. Also useful is the History feature, which allows you to view previous actions of Standalone System Sweeper.Ī downside of Standalone System Sweeper compared to Microsoft Safety Scanner is that you can't just run it from your USB rescue stick. You can also choose whether to share information about malicious software with Microsoft's online community SpyNet.
The Tools menu lets you access quarantined items and allowed items (files that won't be scanned).
Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper - Advanced Options You can also specify whether heuristics are used to identify malware. There, you can also configure whether the standalone antivirus tool scans archive files (for instance, ZIP and CAB), email attachments, and removable drives. You can find the corresponding settings under Options in the Tools menu. Standalone System Sweeper also allows you to exclude specific folders and file types. Since custom scans don't work with Microsoft Safety Scanner under Windows PE, Standalone System Sweeper is the better choice if you want to perform an offline scan on specific drives and folders. The functionality is comparable to Microsoft Safety Scanner and supports quick scans, full scans, and custom scans. Standalone System Sweeper boots up Windows PE, but you have no access to the command prompt. The installation wizard can create a bootable CD, USB stick, or ISO file for you. You don't need such instructions with Standalone System Sweeper. Most antivirus vendors who offer standalone antivirus tools (for instance, Kaspersky Rescue Disk) bother their users with step-by-step instructions. What I like about Standalone System Sweeper is that creating boot media is very simple and quick.
