Trellix Stinger Reviews

Trellix Stinger Description

Trellix Stinger can be used as a standalone utility to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not intended to replace full antivirus protection. However, it can be used as a specialized tool to aid administrators and users in dealing with infected systems. Real Protect, a real time behavior detection technology that monitors suspicious activity at an endpoint, is now part of Stinger. Real Protect uses machine learning and automated behavioral classification in the cloud to detect zero day malware in real time. Stinger uses next-generation scan technology including rootkit scanning and scan performance optimizations. It can detect and remove threats that are listed under the "threatlist" option in the Stinger app's advanced menu options. Stinger scans by default for running processes, loaded module, registry, WMI and directory locations that could be used to spread malware on a machine. This helps to reduce scan times.
