Modern viruses and malware are designed to bypass standard defenses, as advanced threats effectively hide from both pre-installed security software and computer users. Antivirus programs, blacklists, and other security software that require prior threat knowledge are ineffective against detecting and removing advanced virus attacks.

Sophos Scan & Clean is a free, no-install, second-opinion virus removal scanner designed to rescue computers that have become infected with advanced zero-day malware, spyware, Trojans, rootkits, and other threats capable of evading real-time protection from up-to-date antivirus software.

It's a powerful virus removal tool capable of both detecting and removing deeply embedded persistent threats and other malware that traditional security solutions fail to detect.
