I have a friend that wants me to fix his computer, however i cant remember the name of the software i used to fix my own. I asked a long time ago on this forum on another account. Someone told me to use these two programs, they were free, enter safe mode on my computer and run them. It got rid of all pop ups and fake virus scans. Does anyone know what these programs are, or any other good programs i could use?
Run the quick scan with malwarebytes anti-malware then reboot and run the full scan and reboot again.
Ensure your anti-virus is up to date, if you don’t have one I can recommend Avast Home Edition for free http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html or NOD32 if you don’t mind paying http://www.eset.com/
Some software that I’d recommend you running weekly are:-
malwarebytes anti-malware http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
SUPERantispyware http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html
Spybot Search and Destroy http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html
Select the free versions if applicable.
I’d also recommend you run ccleaner http://ccleaner.com every day to clear your "crap" It has 2 scans, cleaner and registry, remove or fix all that it finds but repeat the registry one until nothing is detected.
Please ensure that you check for updates before running these tools.
After a malware attack and clean It’s always a good idea to switch off System Restore, reboot, switch it back on, create a new restore point then reboot again.
Hope this helps.
NB: Tip – If you find that you are unable to run a program eg: mbam-setup.exe try changing it to something random like 5488gdhrf.exe and try again.
