Adlice Protect vs Dr.Web LiveDisk

Adlice Protect is Windows malware security software with free and paid plans. It scans for and removes known and unknown malware, including viruses, ransomware, and trojans, using AI heuristics and a cloud signatures engine. Real-time protection is described as stopping infected programs before execution. The product detects and removes rootkits, blocks ransomware encryption with selected-folder protection, and helps prevent suspicious programs from reading or changing copied passwords, card numbers, and crypto addresses. Users can scan on demand or schedule weekly scans, retain scan history, and review detections in quarantine with an option to restore them. The Free plan costs nothing and includes scan-and-remove malware, AntiRootkit, personal use, and forum support. Premium costs $15 a year; Technician costs $35 a year and adds portable licensing, unlimited machines, and scriptable software.

Dr.Web LiveDisk is a free antivirus recovery tool for systems damaged by viruses or malware. It starts from a DVD or USB drive as emergency media, then launches the Dr.Web CureIt! scanner automatically. Users can choose a scan mode, run a quick scan or adjust scan settings. LiveDisk can remove viruses and suspicious files, restore infected items, and copy important data to external media or another computer. On startup it detects and mounts hard-drive partitions and establishes a network connection if possible. The included Midnight Commander file manager can search for and copy information, and the boot menu offers Memtest86+. Creating a USB drive requires at least 1 GB of free space; formatting is optional, and the creation application leaves existing files unchanged by default. USB booting requires BIOS support for a USB HDD device. Doctor Web advises checking that LiveDisk is current and updating its virus databases if needed, and lists 24/7 online technical support.
