Steve Krause Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Well, MalWare is called many different things (Virus, Trojans, Adware, Spyware etc....). A good combination I always recommend is any of the following Anti-Virus firms: FSecure Trend-Micro McAfee Symantec Followed up with SpyBot Search and Destroy To steal a Quote from Shreck - Security is like an onion, it's all about LAYERED Security. So, grab SpyBot, a good AV program and make sure your Operating System is ALWAYS 100% Updated with the latest Security patches and other vendor related security patches. That last part is VERY important. At the last Security Bake-Off between a VISTA PC and an APPLE PC, (yes, apple was hacked first) the VISTA box was hacked due to an issue with the Adobe Software installed on it. So that's a good reminder to PATCH not only your operating system, but all software on you PC as well (Adobe Flash, etc...). Sorry for the LONG response. Hope that helps!

HelpJas Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 That was a great response . I appreciate it. It is always good to know more than what you have really asked. My questions were short because i'm not much familiar with it. But you responded in the right way. Cheers!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 If you're computer was infected before installing protection there's a small chance the scanners won't remove everything. It may be a little overkill but if you want to be 100% sure you're clean the I'd suggest a system reformat. (I suspect mrgroove will write a how-to for that soon). Then installing protection right off the bat. It's all about preventing he infection, once you're PC gets sick it is never the same again unless you reformat.

Steve Krause Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Honestly, I agree. Once a box has become compromised, you really cannot trust it again without a full OS reload.... Sorry.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falma Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I wanna recommend you something diffrent; there is another antivirus that occupies less space in your computer. I use kaspersky and it works very well. It detects all the trojans and it's easier to use. You can take it from this place I found kaspersky vers 7 Good day!

Hi Mr. GrooveI have picked up some malware and the guy who cleaned it says i got it through Adobe. He suggested i try a different PDF reader and uninstall Adobe Acrobat reader. I use the Revo to uninstall and installed Flipping PDF reader. It is great and uses very little resource in comparison to Adobe.http://webstunning.com/pdf-reader/download/ Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertosburn Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Best Malware Removal Software 1. Ad-Aware- Ad-Aware has also been around for a very long time and is one of the best antivirus programs out there. When installing the program, make sure to uncheck the two boxes for SecureSearch as that is not really worth it.The best thing about Ad-Aware is that it supports real-time protection in the free version! 2. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware -One of the best tools for repairing malware infections is Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. The free version includes anti-malware, anti-spyware and anti-rootkit protection. 3. Virus Vanish- It will scan for malicious emails. It protecting you from internet threats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
