Whats the best software for removing viruses and trojans ect...?

Malwarebytes is the best I know. Download it on a friend's computer and then put it on a memory stick. It's free.

My favorite ones that also do complete cleaning and conduct real time defense as well:

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.45
Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.6.2.46
NOD32 2.7

Let us know your findings and success if any with these.

Regards,

The best I have seen and used till date is Eset Nod32. Its just awesome and pretty light. Your computer's speed remains untouched. Just use it once, you will never curse me

go for kaspersky, I've used that for as long as I care to remember and it's always served me well.

I think Mcafee is the best antivirus software for removing the viruses and trojans from the PC. As this has updated database files, also it has ability to avoid internet threats also.

Kaspersky is pretty good, you could give Nod32 a run as well

panda cloud antivirus

HijackThis from TrendMicro. It's free.

Be careful with it though. You can seriously hose your registry if you don't know what you're doing.

If people are getting warnings from your website but nowhere else then your server/host could be infected. I have even heard of cases where a domain's host became infected and it migrated out to the website itself {Godaddy}. Your host server is a computer too and needs regular virus checks and to be well firewalled same as your home computer. I'd contact your host about the problem, first off.

I use AVG free, super-antispyware and Windows defender. Keep 'em all up to dat and have no probs whatsoever.

I've been researching spyware programs for the past 2 years. As far as I know, Superantispyware and malwarebytes does best for free removal tools. If you don't mind paying then you should check out VIPRE Antispyware + antivirus.

Checked...clean.

Avira antivirus is the best! Cheers..

adware is best,you can download from filehippo.com

A lot of people have mentioned Malwarebytes - what you might want to know is that Malwarebytes has a way to randomly change the name of its executable on download - it sounds like that was something you were concerned about.

I have free Malwarebytes and free Avira.
Avira provides online protect, and I run Malwarebytesfew times per month.
They rocks.

Just got a trojan through FF Identified by kaspersky, system keeps shutting down and blue screen appears, let's see if kaspersky can eradicate it...

UPDATE: trojan found and removed, re-installed FF

The ugly truth is that even the major players are having problems with their servers being hacked and infected with trojans (which is nothing more than a back door into your computer). Google, Financial institutions and even the DOD are constantly playing defence.

The solution is to always keep a fresh set of backup files as pointed out above and watch your site diligently. I check my site every day. It helps to have a 'roll your own website' and be intimately familiar with your source code. You eventually learn what to look for (<script). If you didn't put it there... it doesn't belong there. Same is true of directories.

If I find anything I instantly whack my files with no previous notice and then upload my fresh backup files. I'm up and running in no more than 90 seconds... trojan free.

I run Linux on my personal machine and have no worries. Lock your root account down with a super strong password and work your normal day to day activities from a normal account. Never had a problem.

Good Luck!

Right now I use Webroot. I had been using AVG for many years. Webroot found a Trojan buried somewhere that AVG missed.

I use Malwarebyte Anti-Malware... clean everything, and it's free !

If you have a machine that is currently infected, especially if it's infected with a Rootkit, here are your absolute BEST steps.

(1). Go to: NEW INSTRUCTIONS - Read This Before Posting For Malware Removal Help - Tech Support Forum

...and start a thread/ticket to get your machine clean.

To see how it's done, here is an actual thread/ticket, one of my clients opened: Hit With The Double Whammy XP Defender Virus and AVE.exe Virus - Tech Support Forum

Any time we have a client or VA that gets an infected machine, this is where I send them and these guys are batting 1000%! There is no charge for the service but they do take donations.

Read the instructions on the Virus/Trojan/Spyware Removal Help page carefully. You will need to:

(a). Set up a profile
(b). Put your OS in your profile and any service packs, etc.
(c). Explain your symptoms
(d). Explain any steps you have taken to correct the issue(s)
(e). Download the DDS.src and the gmer.exe to a flash drive
(f). Take the results from those applications and post them to your thread and the team will respond

After machine is clean, I would Install Comodo on your on it along with the CTM Comodo Time Machine. The CTM out performs the Windows restore point by light years. Most root kit viruses are written to disable the Windows restore point; it won't happen with Comodo.

The four applications we install on all of our machines are:

Comodo Anti Virus
Comodo Time Machine
Malwarebytes
SpyBot

If you have those four applications in place and perform weekly updates and weekly scans, you'll be fine.


P.S. There is no product you can buy to defeat Rootkits without someone having the expert knowledge of registries and applying that knowledge to the latest viruses, Trojans, rootkits and malware.

I use Spyware Doctor.

It's worked perfectly for me!
