Malware Cleanup Utilities
Our powerful agent-less malware quarantining engine effectively identifies infected trusted network assets and quarantines those devices to eliminate the risk of further propogation across the enterprise. Once the network asset is quarantined, it is imperative that it be remediated to remove all traces of the infection.
We’ve scoured the globe and have internally tested 22 of the top, most cutting edge malware remediation utilities.
Only a few have made the cut. The following tools are approved by NetClarity, Inc. for use in conjunction with NACwall NG appliances, for their ability to find, detect and cleanup Malware including new zero-day threats, however we make no implied warranty and take no responsibility.
Remember that Malware cleanup utilities may quarantine or erase crucial files that could cause a computer to not function properly.
The most effective malware cleanup is to completely WIPE a hard drive down to the boot sector and reinstall or reimage the entire operating system.
