Each year I use the months of March and September as friendly reminders to myself of some of the chores that need to be done on items that require maintenance. I get the car serviced, change the batteries in the smoke detectors, and also do a semi annual cleaning of my computer systems.

So when I saw that ESET, the makers of Nod32 anti-virus, had an online scanner, I decided to give it a try. I have previously mentioned that using an online scanner to check your system, no matter which anti-virus product you use, is wise. Critters can sneak through the best defense so it doesn’t hurt to check your system using a different product occasionally.

ESET online scanner needs to use IE. The scan itself on my system took 1 hour and 33 minutes, so be patient. All files were checked and no problems were found.

Give this freebie a try.

Comments welcome.
