System analyzer that scans a PC for errors such as running processes, drivers, scheduled tasks and registry entries.
ESET SysInspector is a free application from the antivirus company that shows running processes, registry entries, startup programs and network connections. Each item is then classified as either harmless or dangerous.
As a portable utility, ESET SysInspector requires no installation and also starts from a USB stick.
This program checks Windows and clarifies existing security risks with a log file.
Once that is done, it analyzes the four critical points: registry, processes, autostart programs and network connections. Then set the Filtering slider to Risky Level 7 to 9.
In the directory space, find files marked in red, make a note of the registry branches and filenames that are displayed. The reason: ESET SysInspector cannot remove malware. You have to get rid of the nasty stuff manually.
In conclusion
For the most part, Eset Sysinspector reliably informs you about malicious data or processes. However, what the software lacks is a combat tool to get rid of malware directly.
