WHAT IS MISC TOOLS COMMANDLINER?
================
Misc Tools Commandliner is a set of batch files and other auxillary files used 
to combat malware, including recent attempts to block Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
from installing or running.  It also incudes a-Squared 4.0 Commandline scanner
with Ikarus antivirus scanning engine, and Sophos antivirus, and attempts to
remove the Bonjour service which has been known to set the default gateway to
0.0.0.0 

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CURRENT VERSION IS AN ALPHA RELEASE AND HAS NOT BEEN TESTED ON 64-BIT MACHINES!

-a-Sqaured Command Line Scanner

-Norman Malware Scanner
