Sorry if this is one of those "USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION!!!" questions but, there only seems to be two posts in this whole forum? what's up with that btw?
anyway, What's the best malware removal software these days? It could be a freeware, shareware, or paid program.
Free version of this usually does the job:

my thanks to you.
but why are there no posts showing in this forum? did something get erased or is the problem only on my end?
Within a forum section like-> General Software, Applications, and DriversQuote:

ok thanks for that too, not sure how that got set the way it was.
Hijackthis does a good job of removing startup entries, service entries, BHO's and browser hijacks.
HijackThis
Stinger
MalwareBytes
All good programs, and definitely good to have on a bootable Read Only media.
I like zonealarm's free AV + firewall. I use housecall every few months as a backup check.
Microsoft's Security Essentials is free and works well.
I would also take a look at (the free) Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 -- it updates itself after you boot from the CD so is useful even for the Shutdowner trojan, and it seems to often find stuff that Antimalwarebytes has missed.
Use the software on this page to make a Bootable CD (the CD is about 250 MB).
The bootable CD runs from Boot and would scan and clean the computer.
Its free as good as any of the others, and most important, because it is a micro soft product it does not have side effects as some of the 3rd party tools do.
.
What page? If Micro Soft has a bootable CD with this setup, that would be a cool tool to add to me bag of tools.Quote:

Check out D7 here It's designed for technicians and is a great tool, however be careful as it could do a great deal of damage if you don't know what your doing.
Im also a satisfied user of malwarebytes with rkill combination that I run before malwarebytes.
ahh i forgot to recheck this thread. malware bytes solved my problem, but i may look into coupling it with another program, although malware generally isn't a problem for me. if nothing else if i do have a problem this thread will serve as a great reference for the next couple years. thx for the replies, cheers.
spyware terminator can help also
I also agree with malwarebytes and hijackthis.
sometimes there is no way than reinstall all sistem,or use acronis true image backup.
