Is there a free IP Scanner? Actually there is and it is Windows based. It was created to assist small businesses or home business owners to find out if they were being hit with excessive spyware and viruses. While it is mostly used by home business owners, it has been used in the past by large companies to find out what is happening in their network.
Free IP Scanner has a web-based interface that allows you to download an application to scan your computer for malicious spyware and viruses. After the scan is done, the application will return a list of threats. This is the list of known threats. There are many files in this list that will pop up either warning or alarm on your screen. The first option is to take actions to remove the file. The other option is to wait for the system to delete the file.
If the file is not deleted, the free IP Scanner will ask you for permission. Once permission is granted, the information about the malicious file is deleted. If you do not want to download the free software, you can always go for the paid version. There are a number of paid versions available in the market. A free version is considered a good practice but not required in order to make sure that your computer is free from the threats.
