K7 Scanner for Ransomware & BOTs

Aside from being an endless resource of information, the Internet is also full of dangers, given the array of threats and data theft attempts reports that we hear about daily. Thus, having a certified, reputable antivirus solution installed on your computer is highly recommended, even though Windows comes with its own defense system. You can freely use various other dedicated removal tools alongside your main antivirus and one of them is the K7 Scanner for Ransomware & BOTs.

As its name suggests, K7 Scanner for Ransomware & BOTs is a dedicated tool specializing in identifying and removing ransomware variants and BOTs from a PC. Please be advised that it is not a full-featured antivirus solution and, therefore, it does not protect you in real time against all threats. Instead, you can use it to identify suspicious files and traces of malicious BOTs or symptoms of a ransomware infection.

The application requires no installation and is up and running as soon as you double-click on the main executable. Once you accept the license agreement, all the available scan modes are available.

K7 Scanner for Ransomware & BOTs can carry out three types of scans. First, there is the complete scan mode, which analyzes the computer to find high-risk BOTs and traces of ransomware, including WannaCry.

Secondly, the “Quick Scan” mode instructs the K7 Scanner to analyze critical areas that are likely to be infected by high-risk malware. Last but not least, the application can also run a custom scan, meaning you get to decide upon the target file or folder.

While it does not provide full time protection against online threats like a full-features security solution, K7 Scanner for Ransomware & BOTs can detect malicious BOTs and some of the most widely known ransomware variants. Should any threat be detected, you should install a full-featured security solution to make sure the system gets cleaned up and that your data is not compromised.
