- Anti-Virus multi-scanner
- Posted by Max Wachtel on July 16th, 2005
I found this useful tool called HandyScan. You can use it to scan
files using multiple scanners. You need to have the scanners already
on your system. For example I have(all free)BitDefender,Avast,AntiVir
AVG,Sysclean(from TrendMicro),A^2,Bazooka all set using HandyScan.

a few snippets from ACF posts about it:
Just a word of warning ...handybits installation leaves teknum system entries and .dll files in
windows system that do not automatically uninstall.

If you believe them, the "update service" CAN be suspended, using their own tool.
The snide way in which it is otherwise established and maintained - using a parasitic hook on the
rightclick menu - SSMENU.DLL in Windows\System does not inspire confidenc, though!

I would beware of any handybits software , as my experience of it in the
past ,suggests it installs a parasitic upddater aka teknum systems.It
installs in system folders and is very hard to remove.See handybits
privacy...
