Stinger
Trellix Stinger (formerly McAfee Stinger) is a standalone anti-virus scanner to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a substitute for full featured anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist administrators and users when dealing with an infected system.
The program utilizes McAfee scan engine technology, including process scanning, digitally signed DAT files, and scan performance optimizations.
Stinger detects more than 3000 viruses, Trojans and variants as well as malware that masquerades as a legitimate security application (Fake Alerts).
The Trellix Stingerr interface is plain and straightforward, simply select the drive or folders to scan and click a button. You can choose an action to perform if a virus is detected (delete, prompt, quarantine or rename) and also configure which type of files to scan.
Trellix Stinger does not offer automatic updates, the program is not designed as long-term protection but for occasional use.
