Norman Malware Cleaner 2008.12.03


Norman Malware Cleaner is a Norman program utility that may be used to detect and remove specific malicious software (malware).

Note that it should not be used as a substitute for running normal proactive antivirus protection, but rather as a reactive tool to handle systems that are already infected.

It will clean an infected system completely:

  • kill running processes that are infected
  • reveal and remove rootkits
  • remove infections from disk (including ActiveX components and browser helper objects)
  • restore correct registry values
  • remove references created by malware in hosts file
  • remove windows firewall rules for malicious programs
