Gladiator AntiVirus (GAV) is a professional virus and trojan scanner. It is designed to detect and identify known Viruses, BAT-Viruses, HLLx-Viruses, I-Worms, IRC-Worms, mIRC-Worms, IIS-Worms, Trojans, Trojan-Notifier, Trojan-Dropper, Trojan-Downloaders, Backdoors, Unix Trojans/Backdoors, VBS Viruses/Backdoors, General Office Macro Viruses, Word Macro Viruses, Excel Macro Viruses within files, boot-sectors, main-boot-records, partition-tables and memory. You can use it for scanning all your floppy disks, hard disks, CD-ROMs, and network-drives.
Gladiator AntiVirus does detect and unpack also runtime packed trojans, worms, and backdoors like UPX or PECompact compressed malware. This is a important point and most of the commercial scanners dont have this feature, so this is ideal as 2nd On-Demand Scanner to protect the PC from packed/patched malware which other scanners dont find.
