Product of my personal research. As follows, sorted by gut feeling:

ESET Online Scanner
Panda Cloud Cleaner
Zemana Anti-Malware
Comodo Cleaning Essentials

All of these are on-demand scanners. You can install, run them and let them remove malware for free. Full protection is available as a paid version for all of them if for some reason you needed/felt like you need it.

This post is a subtopic of that one.

Indeed. There's also [MBAM 3.5.1](https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mb3_legacy), which similarly still gets updates.

My understanding was that updates for Malwarebytes v3.5.1 stopped in March 2024. I remember uninstalling it for that reason.
