Does anyone know of a good free malware remover?

Thanks

Download the Malicious Software Removal tool from the Microsoft download

site. It is Windows-KB890830-V1.30.exe

That depends on the malware. If you were installing a backdoor trojan

taking advantage of your administrative privileges, don't waste any time

with patchwork. Consult "Cleaning a Compromised System"

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log

to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1

(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.

It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with

assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

http://castlecops.com/forum67.html,

http://forums.subratam.org/index.php?showforum=7,

http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or other appropriate forums for expert

analysis, not here.**

 

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this

isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and

independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
