Clean your infected system

Here at Softonic we drive the computer security message home pretty hard, but even we know that sometimes, despite your best efforts, an infection will slip in. Norman Malware Cleaner is a program for those occasions, when you know you have caught something unpleasant and need to do something to fix it.

Norman Malware Cleaner is very simple to use. The pared-down interface offers you few options - a box to specify what areas you want to scan and a window to monitor the scan process and results. There are a small number of options in Norman Malware Cleaner, but they are of the advanced variety, so you'll need to know your stuff before toggling them. Unfortunately, Norman Malware Cleaner doesn't provide any help files to guide the less expert user.

A little irritating, however, is the fact that Norman Malware Cleaner doesn't let you know how long each scan is likely to take, nor does it provide a progress bar. I also noticed that the Norman website provides a few pre-scan recommendations, but the program itself does not remind you about them. Although it creates with a post-scan report, Norman Malware Cleaner takes its own decision when it comes to deleting malware, so as a user you have very little input.

These problems probably won't bother the occasional, casual user, but if you like to get involved with the care of your computer, you'll probably find that the program doesn't offer you enough choice or control, even though it does perform its job well.

Norman Malware Cleaner performs well, but is too light on user options.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
