Pitstop Virus Scan PC Pitstop Virus ScanWith new viruses emerging daily, our new scanner checks for virus signature file updates each time you visit. If updates are available it will automatically download them. When you scan your system using one of the options below, the status bar tells you how many viruses have been detected so far. If you prefer, you do not need to complete the scan once a virus is found. When you click the Stop button we will tell you what viruses were found so far. Note: If you are already running an antivirus program, it may incorrectly warn that the PAV.SIG signature file from PC Pitstop's virus scanner contains a virus. The signature file contains patterns from viruses so that our scanner can recognize them as it scans files on the drive. To use this scanner in those cases, you should either turn off your existing antivirus scanner or add PAV.SIG to the file exceptions list on your antivirus scanner. If prompted to block access to PAV.SIG during the scan, select the option in your antivirus scanner that allows the scan to continue. Please Wait: Loading the antivirus scanner...
