A good Malware remover that runs constantly? Hey Everyone, Lately i been having a lot of malware on my computer. I have done everything in my power to get rid of it but it doesn't seem to be doing the job. The problems started after i got service pack 3 for xp. Currently i am using avast as my antivirus and then when my computer is not acting right i use asquare and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. I have use them constantly and its like every week i have to run it to get rid of the problem or else system restore. But now i am at the point where the link to my system restore is gone along with the link to display. I am thinking i need a malware program that can run constantly to check for malware or else need a different malware remover. So i am wondering if anyone knows a safe malware remover (i am not the best at knowing which registry keys to keep or get rid of which is why i use the other two programs). An if its possible one that's free. Thank you, Rach
free malware remover? Can someone please give me directions to a free malware remover. I already opened a thread about Advanced Virus Remover but I can´t really follow the instructions given there since I cannot find a free malware remover. All of them say that the download is free and the scan goes well aswell, but when I go to remove and fix stuff the scam comes out. You need to purchase the full thing to remove anything. So can you please help me finding something that does THE WHOLE THING for free not just the download. I don´t need the scan to tell me there´s something dodgy going on on my computer. I know it without the scan. I need something that will remove it for free. Mh, I tried some of the things posted and one of them made my internet stop working. Had to do system restore. :( Sorry, I have to stress it but I need FREE stuff. I will NOT sign up for anything. Everything needs to be FREE.

What's the best Free Anti-virus and Malware remover that I can get? I have a virus on my computer right now that has pretty much incapacitated my computer. It is masquerading as an Antivirus called "Antivirus Soft" and even uses the windows shield logo. It fills up my tray on the bottom with stuff, and has so many pop ups that it's hard to even see this web page in Mozilla (it took out Internet Explorer too). I need a good Freeware Anti-virus and a good freeware Malware remover. I would hate to back up all my stuff on my spare drive and do a wipe, but if I have to, I will. My expired Norton no longer useable. And, ok folks, I don't know what WOT is and (FYI) a ten year old girl was surfing while I was at work, so don't insult me about my surfing/ Downloading habits. That's just childish.
Has anybody else had a problem with the recent windows update malware remover? I downloaded there updates and it said to download this and now my computer has been going out of control with pop ups of the software saying my computer is full of viruses and im getting hacked and it will just start background music of commercial from tide and whole bunch of crap at random. and it will add shortcuts on my desktop of adult theme websites and when i try to remove the program it says its gone but still pops up saying i need to buy the software. i never had a problem at all with my computer until i updated it directly from microsoft.com. i have had norton on the computer since new but since i did Microsoft's update it is telling me i need to unistall the software.

So just chime in with what you know and if you know how to remove it.

Is the best way to SELL malware removers to PROVIDE malware for free first? Why do different security scans find different problems and miss those that others find? Why do `free` security downloads fix the harmless problems then ask for money to remove those that they say are serious? If we were not told of AD/SPY would we worry? Should we worry? Are most detection/removal programs designed primarily remove a nasty lump from our wallets? What do you think? Hyped up phobia or genuine threat?

where can i get a real virus remover that actually removes viruses, not just scan them? Like i have asked before, i want to download a virus/adware/spyware/malware(or whatever) remover that actaully removes these viruses. I've tried to get these things, but all it does is scan the system. that's It. Also, i once used another remover and i scanned it, then it said, 'Remove Infections' and i pressed yes. Then, just in case, I get a scanner just in case to make sure it's all gone, but then when it sdcans, it still has the infections and threats. Can someone tell where i can get a top of the line straight out virus remover?
What is GOOD FREE Spyware, Malware, Worm, Trojan scanner or remover? I let my neighbor's son use my computer and he downloaded limewire, kazaa, bearshare, without my consent and now I have a stinking disease on my computer that do not want to leave, even McAfee can't help me after 4 full scans. Whatever this disease is seems to be hiding on my computer. I bought and downloaded one anti-spyware that couldn't even find this thing and lost money. I just now prefer to use something free and effective. PLEASE, if you know something that is GOOD at detecting those smart-a$$ viruses that hides on your computer please let me know. I would like something FREE since I wasted money on a anti-spyware that turned out to be weak and light-weight. P.S.- This stinking virus is so bad it's affecting my current Anti-virus software, and it even blocks the downloads of other anti-spywares that I attempt to download. Thanks!

trojan/malware- unable to install any antivirus or spyware remover? If I run IE (to check my yahoo mail b.c. I have beta), I get pop ups. If I run Mozilla Firefox, the trojan/virus/malware kicks me off the net and closes the browser. I am unable to install superAntiSpyare or Ad Aware 2008. I have windows xp with service pack 2. Also, I tried to use system restore and tried to create my own restore point. I did it twice and when I hit undo, I can no longer get my desktop back up in regular mode. I have to boot in safe mode. I tried to use system restore to go back to the last known good configuration and still no results. How do I fix?

I tried to do a system restore to the time before I had the virus and it wouldn't allow me to choose a date other than yesterday's date; I had the virus yesterday so that wouldn't work. I would prefer not to pay someone to fix if I don't have to. Thanks. Is there any way to fix without reformatting my system. I've got so many files and progs, that having to reinstall all that again would be a nightmare. If I restore to factory settings, do I still lose all my progs and files? Thanks.
