Windows 7: Virus scanner installed on USB flash drive

I would like to be able to install malwarebytes to a flash drive so that I can plug it in to an infected PC and run scans.

This would be useful in situations where the infected PC has internet connectivity issues or the virus is preventing malwarebytes from being installed.



Is this possible?

No it is not, but do know of something that might interest you. You can download a manual updater from the link below. Keep the link handy, and when working on a computer that might have malware, download the newest version of the updater and copy it to the computer you are working on to update Malwarebytes.

Thanks Petey.

I have Malwarebytes, CCleaner, AVG free, rkill, tdsskiller, fixncr.reg, PSI, and panda usb vaccine.

Any other utilities I may find handy when encountering virus's?

I find that MSE does a better job than AVG free. Also, when working on other peoples computers, I usually use TFC by Oldtimer instead of CCleaner, but its up to you.

Thank you for the advice, will do some reading.

SuperAntiSpyware has a portable scanner you can add to your arsenal.

The only thing is, the virus defs are updated continually, so it's best to d/l this on the day you find you need it if you want the latest defs. Otherwise, you can keep it on your FD, perhaps update it every week.
