    Good tool match your comment here more details. About KRT Removal Tool

    Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool 2015 is a free tool for scanning infected computers under Microsoft Windows for viruses and eliminating the detected threats.

    Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool 2015 is not intended for long-term use as it does not protect your computer in the real-time mode. After the computer is disinfected, remove the tool and install the full-scale antivirus solution.

    New features of Kaspersky Removal Tool 2015:

    * Adware and riskware detection.

    * Notifications on out of date databases.

    * A single type of scan suitable for all situations.

    * Copying files to backup before disinfection or removal.

    * Protection from system files removal.

    * False positives prevention.

    * Collecting of statistics for Kaspersky Security Network has been improved.

    * Startup from the command line has been added.

    i used many avs over yrs in hundreds of computers..bitdefender is the most trouble free as far as i can see. (they dont call as often with malware)

    in bitdefender free> right click icon> account info> turn off special offers (to stop the sales for full version popup)

    you can just use Microsoft Security Essentials, and enable PUA protection through registry for an extra security.

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware]
    "PUAProtection"=dword:00000001
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\MpEngine]
    "MpEnablePus"=dword:00000001
