    herdProtect Anti-Malware Scanner is a fast and free Windows desktop program which detects malicious threats, spyware and adware by utilizing 68 industry anti-malware scanners. It has no impact on your system resources and uses the herdProtect cloud-based scanning engine. The scanner is a second line of defense and is designed to work perfectly with your existing anti-virus software (we highly recommend you use another anti-malware product with herdProtect). Best of all, it's FREE.

    Download Page (contains both a portable and an installer version) = http://www.herdprotect.com/downloads.aspx

    The installer will then extract itself as a portable folder then you can get rid of that installer and save the portable folder in your software collection to run it on demand ;)
