Publisher's description of McAfee AVERT Stinger
Stinger is a stand-alone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a substitute for full anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist administrators and users when dealing with an infected system. Stinger utilizes next generation scan engine technology, including process scanning, digitally signed DAT files, and scan performance optimizations.

"Does, what its suppose to and I like it"
Pros: This will very come in handy in case of an infection or a virus break through. It barely takes up any space and it does its job quickly. I even downloaded this for my lil brother. I trust Mcafee and their products.
Cons: Dosen't get rid of all of the known viruses out there. But if it did, then it wouldn't be free would it?

"YOU CANT UPDATE IT SECURITY SOFTWARE HAS TO BE UPDATED"
Pros: Seems to have an excellent engine but it will anly detect specific list trojans and that is all it will ever do.
Cons: unless your pc is infected and you have no other alternatives then its a backup at best

"You couldn't ask for anything more simple!"
Pros: I like that the file is not too big.
It's super easy to use, a person not very experienced with computer programs could easily use this.
Cons: Make sure to save it on your desktop if you plan on keeping it to use later on.
