(New) Testing Anti Virus Suites

[humbert]

I use 980M Alienware and its working fine for me.

By this do you mean it can boot those unbootable antivirus programs? Or do you mean something else?

I will be moving to new laptop this year or next year depending on prices.

In your case this makes perfect sense. You use your lappie for heavy duty games and for (I assume) processor-intensive  engineering programs in your job.

Have you checked if Asus has released new BIOS?

At this moment the only Asus hardware I have is an old lappie which I use for browsing, emails, and other general stuff. It's been a long while since new firmware was written for it. My current board is MSI which, frankly, works quite well. It was the only thing the computer store had in stock and I needed it immediately.

I don't game that much.
Then again I use my Ivybridge for coding duties and 6700hq has issues.

Thanks. How do you run this? Does it have to be installed or can you boot from an ISO and clean if the need arises?

You double click on the exe file.

No you can't boot it from an iso, it must be installed.
If you want to use a standalone application from mcafee, you can try stinger: https://www.mcafee.com/en-us/consumer-corporate/mcafee-labs/free-tools/stinger.html
