3 years ago I’ve written about CaSIR, which is a very useful small and portable tool that has helped me removed a lot of stubborn virus infection with just a click (especially Brontok and some unknown variant) from computers when antivirus has failed to remove them. All I need to do is run it from my portable USB drive and click the Start button. Back then when CaSIR was in version 2, it is a shareware that cost USD14.95 and is limited to only running it on your computer since the license is machine dependent.
I revisited Sergiwa’s website today (the author of CaSIR), and found that CaSIR is now a freeware. Everyone can now use CaSIR on any computer without limitations. CaSIR takes merely a few seconds to scan because it only checks the areas where malware mostly hide and cleans them. Once the infection has been removed, I can then use other tools to further clean up any traces of the malware.
