Virus Scanning Without Installing

Get ready to spreken ze Deutsch but this is an option if you are caught without a virus scanner. Stand alone functionality. On line options and/or download.
Microsoft's removal tool is already on your system, just type "mrt" in the search box.
You might want to start with (and I hate to say it) Norton
KillEmAll kill all unessential processes
Kaspersky ISO Drop on Ventoy
HitmanPro
CrowdInspect
Type "mrt" in run command
Dr. Web
Ultra Virus Killer

AntiBotnet

Other possibilities
rkill.exe
OTL.exe
TDSS Killer
ComboFix
Remove Fake Scan Popup
Remember that removing a virus can destroy the OS ability to run so copy the important stuff off first and be ready to do a fresh format and install. Actually the data can likely be copied later but your choice. I would like a fresh system if my machine had been compromised.

Curl, Wget, Winget & Powershell Install or Download Commands

After the mess I made in previous posts this summary might be useful.     Thanks PatchMyPC, the great and powerful program downloader and up...
