MalAware is an ultra fast cloud based malware scanner from Emsisoft (a-squared Anti-Malware) that scans your PC for malware and inform you.

Although MalAware has included basic known malware signature files, most scans are done in the cloud (required active internet connection). So it can achieve a similar accuracy as a-squared Anti-Malware.

However, remember that MalAware only detects threats, in order to remove the threats you need a-squared Anti-Malware.

MalAware is a portable tool (no installation required) and runs on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 ( 32 bit and 64 bit editions).

[Please note that MalAware performs a very fast scanning and may therefore not wholly give information on whether the PC is possibly infected in system areas outside the scanned]. Download MalAware
