There was only one link because it's a pre-canned response that I past
parts of for people that need help. The tool I show a link to also has a
download link, you can use this link if you want:

http://www.pctipp.ch/ds/28400/28470/Multi_AV.exe

I don't like to post direct links to exe files, I consider it a security
risk that should be avoided. The site is good, you can check with the
reputable members of these groups.

PCBUTTS1 filed a fraudulent DMCA complaint against the website it was
hosted it, the company that was hosting the site didn't want to get
involved in the fight and washed their hands of it without allowing the
proper path to be processed. So, a foreign reporter that had been
following this said that they would host the file on their company
server because they believed the complaint was fraudulent. The site is
100% legit, while it is in german, you can read the instructions
included in the download.

Unlike PCBUTTS1 website, this good site does not contain porno, does not
expose kids to porn, and does not contain pirated code/apps and does not
use hits to make PCBUTTS money (he even admitted it in a post in
public).

So,

Hey Leythos,
You could provide additional info when recommending David's Multi AV:

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to
go through your FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor
related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in
Normal Mode. This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV
vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and
Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files
or you can download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you
have downloaded the files needed for each scanner you want to use, you
should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key during boot] and re-run the
menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe Mode.
It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more
comprehensive PDF help file.

I could, but people should be able to read the PDF that is included with
the app, not to mention that they should also be looking for help,
readme, support type documents when they get ANY application.

The reason that people need anti-malware tools is that they don't read
or follow directions.

Well yes. But there is a difference between patronizing and educating the
uninitiated. Even the author/creater of Multi_AV doesn't subscribe to your
condescending approach and provides this additional info when reccommending
the usage of his application; Heck, you're trying to be more catholic than
the Pope, oh well.

There are a couple days per year when I have little tolerance for people
that can't at least look around before asking for something that is
right in front of them, that was one of them.
