McAfee Stinger Portable

McAfee Stinger Portable is a standalone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a substitute for full anti-virus protection, but a specialized tool to assist administrators and users when dealing with an infected system. Details on new or enhanced signatures added with each Stinger build are listed in the Readme details.

McAfee Stinger utilizes next-generation scan technology, including rootkit scanning, and scan performance optimizations. It detects and removes threats identified under the "Threat List" option under the Advanced menu options in the Stinger application.

McAfee Stinger Portable now includes Raptor - a real-time behavior detection technology that monitors suspicious activity on an endpoint. Raptor leverages machine learning and automated behavioral-based classification in the cloud to detect zero-day malware in real time.
