There is no antivirus software that will catch all viruses. Even the best security applications do not have a perfect detection rate which means that it can happen that a virus slips past them and infects the computer system. There are a few options to cope with this problem like sandboxing, using virtual machines or performing regular checks with additional antivirus programs.
Dr. Web CureIt is one of those antivirus programs that can be used to scan a Windows operating system. The program requires no installation and can be run right from the location it was downloaded to.
Dr. Web CureIt can detect and remove viruses, rootkits, trojans and other malicious or infected files from the system. Three types of scans are available. A quick, full and custom scan. A quick scan will only scan the most important locations of the Windows operating system including the boot sectors, startup objects, the Windows system folder and the user documents folders.
It is usually recommended to perform a full scan instead to scan all files and locations of the operating system. Objects that have been found as malicious during the scan can be cured, renamed, moved or deleted from within the program’s interface.
Dr.Web CureIt is an interesting program for users who want to quickly scan their computer system without having to install yet another antivirus software. The product is quite renowned for its detection and cleaning capabilities and a solid on demand scanner to catch malicious software that regular antivirus misses. The only downside are the popups that are displayed by the program that advertise the commercial version of the program.

Its always good to have another antivirus. “The program requires no installation and can be run right from the location it was downloaded to” so does this mean it is portable (can i carry it in pen drive)
@BalaC
It’s packaged as self-extracting and running archive, scanner itself runs from system’s temporary folder. You can unpack it and run for any folder manually.
Either way it will work just fine from flash drive.
