Though I don’t run this direct from Windows on the computer, unless the drive is sealed in the computer, like a notebook or ultrabook. Rather I prefer to remove the drive, place it in a docking station that capable of holding both 2.5 & 3.5″ drives, and have one Windows 7 ‘testbed’ notebook where I then attach the drive to & perform the scan. This is the most effective way, not having Windows (or Malware) processes running, and cleanup is much better vs running from the Downloads folder.

It can also be used via USB, though it’s not bootable, is still a potent scanner for those where I cannot remove the drives. If there’s an infection present, then I’ll rescan in a week or so. Though I also have other tools at my disposal, nothing beats the cleaning power of EEK.
