Present day antivirus and security software operate on post-event basis. First a virus or malware is discovered, then the antivirus database is updated to include its signature, then it is expected that the user will download the antivirus update and after that only, the user is secured against that virus.

But it is often too late. Lots of users do not care to update software regularly and it makes them vulnerable to the security threats.
To further complicate the situation, present day malware often make modifications to the system files and corrupt your security software. They make them useless, block their update mechanisms and in extreme cases make your whole system un-usable. You may not be in a position to even boot up your system.
In such a case, your only solution may to use some Portable Antivirus software, stored on a removable media like USB, Pen Drive or CD ROM, make it write protected and use it to clean your infected system.

What Are Portable Antivirus Software:

Portable Antivirus Software are often stripped down version of their full-featured counterparts. They usually are available free for download, but generally, do not provide you a real-time security for your system. In this sense, they are not a substitute for your usual security software and antivirus, but are used for cleaning an already infected system.
Many of such Portable Antivirus Programs work only against certain specific threats, but they are the most common threats and cover a majority of infections worldwide.
The good part with these portable antiviruses is that you can carry them in your USB stick with you and use them to clean a friend’s computer also. You can save as many of them as you want on your USB and use them one by-one to scan and clean the infected computer, as against their full-featured versions, which can interfere the operation of one-another, if you try to install more than one security software on a system. Some of them are also useful for providing the security to your removable drive like USB, when it is inserted un-knowingly into an infected computer.
