I Think you should integrate it. Since stinger is no longer updated a new stand-alone cleaner would be great.

McAfee Stinger

Stinger is only updated when there is a major virus out break, since the last update there hasn't been a major out break. This is because virus writers have changed tactics and moved on to small scale virus attacks as these are harder for the AV companies to combat.

As for VirusKeeper it may be a decent tool, but so far I have my suspicions about the site, can you post where on the site it gives a link for it. I've had a quick look around and once you move away from the original link it seems impossible to find it again, but as I said I've only had a quick look.

Do you use this AV yourself?

Can you find any reviews of this suite? Just had a quick google and the only thing I could find was where to download it on zdnet.com etc...... It's not mentioned on any security site.

The site also says that the scanner is a "stand-alone utility", but the download is a setup exe?

Doesn't sound very stand-alone to me.

Multi Virus Cleaner

QUOTE

Last version : v6.4.1 - July 18th,2006

Multi Virus Cleaner is a free, stand-alone utility used to detect and remove major viruses. It is not a substitute for full anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist administrators and users when cleaning infected systems. Multi Virus Cleaner is regularly updated and can detect over 2,900 common viruses, worms, trojans and dialers (including all variants of the Sober, MyDoom and Bagle viruses). The program boasts a fast, user-friendly scanner that requires minimal processing power and is an excellent choice for repairing a compromised system.

I have not installed or used this app, just providing references...seems like an ok scanner. Might be worth checking out.

note: (I found one reference to 2005 version here http://www.wilderssecurity.com/archive/ind...p/t-93419.html)
