Stinger is a quick and installation-free standalone tool for detecting and removing prevalent malware and threats, ideal if your PC is already infected. While not a replacement for full fledged antivirus software, Stinger is updated multiple times a week to include detection for newer Fake Alert variants and prevalent viruses.

How do you use Stinger?

When prompted, choose to save the file to a convenient location on your hard disk, such as your Desktop folder.

The Stinger interface will be displayed.
By default, Stinger scans for rootkits, running processes, loaded modules, registry and directory locations known to be used by malware on a machine to keep scan times minimal. If necessary, click the "Customize my scan" button to add additional drives/directories to scan.
Click the Scan button to begin scanning the specified drives/directories.
By default, Stinger will repair any infected files it finds.
Stinger leverages GTI File Reputation and runs network heuristics at Medium level by default. If you select "High" or "Very High," McAfee Labs recommends that you set the "On threat detection" action to "Report" only for the first scan.
