Virus Cleanup Toolbox

Hey guys, I was just wondering...

What tools do you take to the battle field, when a friend calls you up (optional), screaming in agony (also optional), asking you to clean the virus off their computer?

A LOT of thigs...

Malwarebytes.

SpyBot S&D

SuperAntispyware

GMER (for rootkit)

HijackThis and "www.hijackthis.de" (online log analyzer)

CWshredder

Spywareblaster (block some bad sites)

And of course... an AV (nod32, kaspersky, or some free like AVG, Avast, A-Squared)

Depending on what type of infection.

If rogue security products or other rogue products:

1. Malwarebytes

2. NoVirusThanks Malware Remover

Trojans, Viruses & Worms:

1. Avast's boot scan can delete and remove hidden malware before Windows boots up.

2. Symantec Security Check, (Norton Online Scan)

3. Emsisoft Web scanner or a-squared Free (beware of high false positives) but can really detect Trojans especially.

4. BitDefender Online Scanner

5. Eset Online scanner

6. SUPERAntiSpyware (Also good for some Trojans and other spyware)

7. Spybot Search & Destroy (sometimes can detect spyware and other malware that are white listed by other products.)

8. Trendmicro Hijack This (advanced users only)

9. a-squared Hijack Free (advanced users only)

10. RunScanner (advanced users only)

If these products don't solve the problem then it is time to re-install Windows.

Thanks.:)
