Trend Micro Anti-Threat Toolkit (ATTK) is a new malware support tool that replaces the System Information Collector (SIC) Tool. This standalone software can be pretty useful as a second-opinion on-demand antivirus scanner, if you suspect that your main security software may have missed some malware.

You will receive a temporary ID number that you can use when you contact Trend Micro Technical Support. If you think you will not require support, you may skip this part
Now the main windows of the program will open. As is the case with most second-opinion scanners and removers, the user interface is pretty straight forward. You can via the Settings link, also select the files and folders you want scanned. You have to click on the Scan Now button to start the scan, and the scan will commence.
Once the scan is completed, you will be presented with a list of malware files found – if any, with options to remove the virus and other malicious files. Go through the list carefully.
If some Boot files are found to be infected with malware, the tool will prompt you to install Clean Boot tool. Click on the Install Clean Boot link to install the modules from the Trend Micro site. Follow the instructions and you will be asked to reboot.
On reboot you the Windows Boot Manager black screen will show you and additional Trend Micro Clean Boot. Select it. This will start the process.
Once this is completed, restart your Windows and select your OS. The scan results will be displayed. You can see the fixed entries here.
The tool can help detect and remove Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Rootkits, Rogue software, and also scans for Autorun entries Network connections, Host file, running processes, Boot and MBR files and loaded DLL files.

I would not use this, based on the impression I have that TrendMicro flags a ridiculous amount of files as viruses. I use virustotal a lot, and there TrendMicro is always flagging every file I upload as a virus. I even made a dummy textfile and renamed it keygen.exe and TrendMicro was ready to save me from that horrible virus..TrendMicro and a few Chinese antivirus companies as well seem to be very aggressive, I suppose it’s their business idea: flag everything so people think we are more efficient than others! Some 5-6 years ago TrendMicro were really good, but now I think time has passed them by, a dying company.
Yes, one has to be very careful, while using such tools, as they can give out false-positives.
That’s true. Antivirus itself is a virus.So,the PC users have to make a selection of antivirus with caution that suits the requirements.In my case,Malwarebytes Anti-malware has proven worthy.
Be very careful using this. It completely deleted Windows from the bootmenu on my W8.1 bootloader. I had to run the bootrec tool to repair it. It very nearly bricked a $1200 laptop.
Thanks mate! Question: is command line tool..?
No.
