NanoScan:The Fastest Online Virus/Malware Scanner

This post is by Abhijeet Mukherjee, a tech enthusiast and is going to start his blog soon.

One of the ways to detect suspicious programs on your computer is by running an online virus scan.Although there are a number of online virus scanners like McAfee FreeScan and Trend Micro, most of them take time and consume lot of bandwidth. But recently, I came across NanoScan, which claimed to scan your PC in few seconds.

NanoScan

It initially downloads a small ActiveX file and then starts scanning.I have to admit that not only it does a comprehensive scan but it is also lightning fast.It took only 31 seconds to scan my PC. Here is the screenshot:

Apart from offering NanoScan, its developer Panda Softwares offers TotalScan which detects and removes viruses, unlike NanoScan, which only does a scan and does not remove it. However, I certainly believe that NanoScan is worth giving a shot and is one of the best online virus scanners available.

  • well speed is dependent on your PC, internet connection, and in my case, the weather. (i use wireless DSL, affected by the weather sometimes :) )
  • Saptarshi: Indeed, I definitely have to agree with you one this one.
  • C'mon guys you can't be serious about Nanoscan or Prevx CSI... I have tried it with a few infected systems, viruses, trojans and worms...and both the scanners really suck... They only detect the popular and a little old infections...

    ...and whats the point of detecting viruses after you are infected. I would rather use a good AV in the first place and stay off from bad files!!

    I think the people at Prevx will probably disagree with that statement if you take a look at their CSI scanner ;)

    Unlike Nanoscan, it also carries with it the ability to remove all infections it finds (although that does carry a price)...

    Having said that, I guess Nanoscan could be a useful tool to check your PC if you fear it is infected.
  • Hmm .. great blog... I heard that you are only 17yrs old ?

    Hmmm and you have your own blog

    At 17 I didn't even know what email was :0
