Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is considered to be the next
step in
the detection and removal of malware. Malwarebytes'
Anti-Malware can detect and remove malware that even the
most well known anti-virus and anti-malware applications fail to
detect. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware monitors every process and stops
malicious processes before they even start. Activating the
full
version unlocks realtime protection, scheduled
scanning, and scheduled updating. For consumers and personal use, it is
a one time fee of $24.95. It's a very worthwhile
purchase.
I have used Malwarebytes to eliminate one of the worst spyware/malware
programs known as Antivirus 2009 which other antivirus/antispyware
software fail to remove or even detect.

After
installing the first thing
that is necessary for you to do is to visit
the registration page and apply for a product license
key. After you receive your key in your email you must start
Avast antivirus and enter the license key. Your key is good
for
as long as you purchased it for (1, 2, or 3 years) then you will be
required to re-register.
Everything is pretty much preset at installation. The program
is
set up to auto-update. If you want to do a manual scan just
start
avast from the icon on your desktop. Next select your local
drives to scan and press the scan button.
If a virus is found just follow the on screen
instructions. In this example the recommended action is to
move
to chest. Other than that there is little to no user
interaction.

SUPERAntiSpyware is a great program to
start with since it
has such
a high detection rate and can remove most of what it finds. Depending
on how infected your computer is, you may want to run this program in
Safe Mode.
To start downloading SUPERAntiSpyware,
download the
program from their
official website.
Download the file to your Desktop or wherever you choose. Keep all the
default installation parameters to ensure it installs correctly. Just
click the next button along the installation wizard. Choose your
language, English is normally the default. After this screen, a new
definitions window will pop up click Yes to download the updates.
On the initial setup window, click next.
You don't need to
enter
your e-mail address on the next screen since as this just puts you into
a mailing list reguarding product features and enhancements , but on
the screen that asks if you want to automatically check
for updates, make sure you leave that box checked. Having the program
automatically scan for updates saves you time in the future. Sending a
diagnostic report to the company is completely up to you but doing so
will help to make the product better, so check the box. Eventually
you will be presented with a window wanting to protect your homepage.
If it is your homepage, click Protect
Home Page,
otherwise,
don’t. When the program opens, click Preferences. Make sure your
Preferences matches the following screenshot and select Close.
Click the Scan Your Computer button and then start
a Complete
System
Scan of all your fixed drives. Remove everything that is found.

Similar to SuperAntiSpyware,
Malwarebytes
Anti-Malware is a great
scanning utility with excellent removal capability. You might also need
to run this program in Safe Mode.
Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from here.
Save the file to your Desktop. Installation is relatively simple, just
follow the installation prompts. At the end of the installation, you
will be presented with a Finish window. Uncheck Launch Malwarebytes
Anti-Malware.
The program will update and not launch
until you request
it to do
so. Launching the program directly after the update could temporarily
crash the program because of the malware present on the system.
Double-click the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware icon on your Desktop. Set
the program to do a full scan and press the Scan button. Malwarebytes
Anti-Malware may look like it froze, but do not do anything, just let
it scan.
When the scan is over click "show items" then click remove selected
items. Your computer may need to be restarted to completely
get
rid of the malware. Hooray you are done!
