• Online virus scanner - If you discover a suspicious file on your machine, or suspect that a program you downloaded from the Internet might be malicious you can scan it using the FortiGuard online scanner. The questionable file can be uploaded from your computer to a dedicated server where it will be scanned using FortiClient Antivirus. Only one file of up to 1 MB can be checked at any one time. All files will be forwarded to our research labs for analysis.

• Malware removal tools - Tools have been developed by FortiGuard Labs to disable and remove the specific malware and related variants. Some tools have been developed to remove specific malware, often tough to remove. A universal cleaning tool, FortiCleanup, is also available for download.
The FortiCleanup is a tool developed to identify and cleanse systems of malicious rootkit files and their associated malware. Rootkits consist of code installed on a system with kernel level privileges, often used to hide malicious files, keylog and thwart detection / security techniques. The aim of this tool is to reduce the effectiveness of such malware by finding and eliminating rootkits. The tool offers a quick memory scan as well as a full system scan. FortiCleanup will not only remove malicious files, but also can cleanse registry entries, kernel module patches, and other tricks commonly used by rootkits - such as SSDT hooks and process enumeration hiding.
A license to use these applications is provided free of charge, courtesy of Fortinet.
