VTE Virus Scanner Downloads

VTE Virus Scanner is a free and useful antivirus utility.

The fastest virus scanner on the market has just gotten a whole lot faster. With a complete engine rewrite, the scan times are now halved, making even quicker scans possible.

The base component of VTE implements a Wide Area Distribution CRC32 Database and a BHO database that currently hosts 344611 unique signatures.

While using the CRC32 method is by no means the most accurate way to detect malware, you will find that most malware (worms, virii, trojans, etc) are still detected when you scan for them.

In addition to having user defined heuristics scanning (UDHS), and plug-in support (you still have to edit the paths manually using tweak.exe), the disinfection rates included with the plugins, along with their database implementations dramatically increase the chances of catching malware. When scanning with the heuristics, you will find that occasionally a false positive is triggered.
