As suggested by its name, Malware Hunter is designed to search and eliminate potentially dangerous files and components on your computer, keeping it free from viruses and other types of threats.

Upon launch, you are greeted by a simple interface with clear, accessible options. Malware Hunter does not monitor your computer in real time, but it does allow you to run quick, full or custom scans. Therefore, you can use it to analyze certain locations or files you suspect are infected.

Depending on your option and the size of the target location, a scan can take more or less time. In full or quick mode, Malware Hunter targets computer areas that can betray the presence of malware, such as the startup section, the common apps or the system’s registry. Once the scan is complete, it displays a short overview where you can check out the number of resolved issues, scanned and infected files, as well as the scan duration. Compressed files are supported.
