Glarysoft Malware Hunter for Windows

PC owners who want to investigate a suspicious file or check common malware hotspots can run on-demand scans with Glarysoft Malware Hunter. It offers quick, full, and custom scan modes, plus tools for handling detections and managing trusted items.

Quick, full, and custom scans

Quick Scan checks key system locations where malware is more likely to appear. Full Scan examines files across the system, while Custom Scan targets a location you choose.

After a scan, Malware Hunter displays detected items for review. Select items to resolve, then use the log view to see scan activity. The time required for a full scan depends on how many files it checks and the size of the disk.

Detection lists and protection settings

The Trust List lets you mark an item as trusted so it will no longer be reported. A separate Block List is available for managing blocked items. Settings include controls for Virus Scan and Active Protection, as well as general options such as language and PC Booster.

Active Protection monitors for potential threats and can act on detected items. The setting also provides a way to restore a file if it was trusted and needs to be returned to its original state.

Cleanup and PC Booster

Malware Hunter includes disk-cleanup and PC-optimization functions alongside its malware scans. Disk Cleaner targets temporary and unnecessary files; PC Booster focuses on process optimization.

System requirements: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11 · 32-bit and 64-bit
