You seem to be strongly s...@ Anonymous - Goodness! You seem to be strongly supportive of a single product. I've not heard of "malverabytes" that you mentioned but maybe you are referring to <a href="http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php" rel="nofollow">Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware</a>? It is indeed a very good product. I have used it from time to time with good results. I do use their FileAssassin and RegAssassin products more regularly than the anti-malware product.<br /><br />Please note that the post you commented on is close to being 4-years old when I wrote it. So I haven't bothered to go back and update it with new/additional products. Newer blog posts do frequently mention and reference Malwarebyte's anti-malware product among others.<br /><br />Here are some additional ones that are a bit more recent related to those issues:<br /><br /><a href="http://grandstreamdreams.blogspot.com/2007/12/anti-malware-tool-roundup-3.html" rel="nofollow">Anti-Malware Tools</a><br /><a href="http://grandstreamdreams.blogspot.com/2007/01/freeware-anti-virus-solutions-for.html" rel="nofollow">Anti-Virus Tools</a><br /><a href="http://grandstreamdreams.blogspot.com/2008/11/portable-anti-virusmalware-security.html" rel="nofollow">USB based AV/AM Tools</a><br /><a href="http://grandstreamdreams.blogspot.com/2007/02/online-system-security-scanners.html" rel="nofollow">Online Scan Tools</a><br /><a href="http://grandstreamdreams.blogspot.com/2008/01/anti-rootkit-tools-roundup-revisited.html" rel="nofollow">Anti-Rootkit Tools</a><br /><br />Even these are not at recent as they could be but do provide additional tools to use. <br /><br />I personally see these tools as "canaries in the mine" and use them for early-warning and alerting to potential threats on a system.<br /><br />When it comes to removing them I personally would use <a href="http://live.sunbeltsoftware.com/" rel="nofollow">VIPRE Rescue</a> from Sunbelt Software, followed by a pass from the full <a href="http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/home-home-office/vipre/" rel="nofollow">VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware</a> product.<br /><br />If that didn't get it, I might toss one more alternative AV/AM product at it (Malwarebytes included), but then go to the mats and pull out my system utilities and boot the system off-line and manually clean out the registry/system myself rather than trusting the automated routines in a AV/AM product. That also might provide me better clues on how it vectored in to the system so I can beef up the defenses afterward rather than just tossing the threat off the system and continuing on.<br /><br />If that still didn't get it I would just recover my critical data to a USB drive, zero-out the entire drive, reformat the drive, and then reload the system and my data.<br /><br />Lots of work but then I could be fairly certain it was clean again.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting.<br /><br />Claus V.Claushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11692921474310162470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13777170.post-36769709713761421112009-08-30T06:43:06.205-05:002009-08-30T06:43:06.205-05:00you are real dickhead,,,malverabytes is the best 3...you are real dickhead,,,malverabytes is the best 3years in a rowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13777170.post-1386464820141761442007-09-18T23:24:00.000-05:002007-09-18T23:24:00.000-05:00How about MalwareLog Tool?http://www.malwarelog.co...How about MalwareLog Tool?<BR/>http://www.malwarelog.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
