Trellix Stinger (formerly McAfee Stinger) 13.0.0.506 released

Published by

Trellix Stinger, formerly known as McAfee Stinger, has released its latest version 13.0.0.506. This specialized tool is designed to detect and eliminate specific viruses from already infected systems, rather than serving as a standalone antivirus solution for ongoing protection. It is particularly useful for tech professionals who may want to keep it on portable storage devices for quick access during troubleshooting.

Stinger operates by scanning for rootkits, running processes, loaded modules, and registry and directory locations commonly associated with malware, which helps to minimize scan times. Users typically require either the 32-bit or 64-bit version, as the EPO version is intended for enterprise use and is not necessary for most individuals.

For those looking for comprehensive antivirus protection, it is suggested to consider alternatives like Malwarebytes, which offers robust features to safeguard devices, data, and privacy.

Additionally, users can find a video tutorial available for better understanding of Stinger's functionalities. It's important to note that while Stinger can be an effective tool for virus removal, it does not replace the need for a full antivirus program.
