So, I do apologise, and I do recognise your points.

I don't consider this a debate and I'm not interested in personal attacks.
I
am perfectly capable of reformatting and restoring my PC from backups. I
will be glad to take $ donations for imaging software and an external hard
drive. My point is that in general, I don't trust any AV or AS program to
simply delete anything unless I investigate what the item is first. I
cannot
do that with Multi_AV. Also, there are inexperienced users viewthing this
newsgroup, who don't understand the possible ramifications of using this
tool. I have recommended Multi_AV.exe as a resource for some folks who had
inadequate AV software, but I don't think I will continue to do that as
long
as it does not have a toggle switch to rename instead of delete. If I turn
my
PC into toast - well - I can deal with that, but I don't want to be
responsible for giving bad advice to others, who might not be prepared to
recover.

lazy
to image a hard-disk.

I was playing with BartPE and multi-av, a while ago, and blew up my
boot
drive. Fortunately I'd imaged that drive just two days before the
explosion
!

Without some kind of toggle switch, it's almost too dangerous to use
unless
the only other option would be to reformat. I certainly wouldn't
use
it
just
to check a PC.
I wouldn't bet on any of the AV vendor NOT having a false positive
or
defective definition file that might weck something. It's almost
like
playing Russian roulette. Of course, that might be fun the the OS
was
terminally ill already and about to "pull the plug." "Freedom
means -
nothing left to lose."

No, sorry. Not at this time.

Maybe some time in the future I'll program a toggle switch in the
menu
that can go between
'malware rename' and 'malware delete' modes.

Thanx for the feedback, Its under consideration.
