<p>[quote user="CNW 6000"]</p> <p>I run a program called MalWare Bytes which is free (google it) and pretty easy to use. I also keep a backup copy of that program on a flash drive as some of the mw I've seen disables anything on the system when it arrives. </p> <p>I have had good experiences with shutting down, restarting and running in "safe mode" and running the MalWare Bytes from there. It's caught infections that were launched and removed their tracking cookies too...but I'm comfortable taking that (and registry editing too) steps.</p> <p>Has anyone contacted the owner of that site?</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>Malwarebytes is a very good stand alone tool to remove spyware/mareware.</p> <p>A common misconception is that you need to pay for computer protection. </p> <p>However, there are quite a few good free software programs that you should consider for use.</p> <p>This is what I use on my computers at home:</p> <p>Firewall: Zone Alarm Free Firewall </p> <p><a href="http://www.zonealarm.com/security/en-us/anti-virus-spyware-free-download.htm">http://www.zonealarm.com/security/en-us/anti-virus-spyware-free-download.htm</a></p> <p>Anti-Virus: Microsoft Security Essentials <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials">http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials</a></p> <p>Registry Cleaner: CCleaner <a href="http://www.ccleaner.com">http://www.ccleaner.com</a></p> <p>Malware: Malwarebytes <a href="http://www.malwarebytes.org">http://www.malwarebytes.org</a></p> <p>Another good free registry cleaner can be found at: <a href="http://www.eusing.com">http://www.eusing.com</a> Eusing will not conflict with CCleaner.</p> <p> </p>
