Hi guys , just wanted to know what the hottest products right now on the market for removal of virus/malware/spyware. Of course I am looking for free alternative. Currently I am having a hard time removing some nasty stuff in internet explorer. Every time I click on the url tab, a new tab opened and re directs me to another website thanks
I use Symantec Endpoint Protection. Along with Malwarebytes Antimalware and TDSKiller (utility) for rootkits. Works well.
Still scan with Spybot for stubborn stuff, but generally manual removal from safemode first Safe mode Reset IE to default from tools > internet options > advanced Clear all temp folders Delete any bad startup entries in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Check for and delete any suspicious entries in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE Boot into normal mode and run scans with malwarebytes / Spybot / above suggestions ^^ Install Avast free AV and schedule a boot time scan > reboot for scan (Scanning before Windows loads = ability to delete malware before it becomes a locked running process)
thanks will try it asap....wow spybot man .. i do not know if it's the same thing but i do remember using spybot in the golden age.
As a manual on-demand scanner I would recommend Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. For portable solutions, you can use: AdwCleaner RogueKiller Junkware Removal Tool Hijack This OTL RKill TDSKiller ComboFix Always get the above tools from bleepingcomputer.com.
Adwcleaner as suggested above should take care of this particular browser tab/homepage hijacker problem. I blame warez sites, nasty stuffs packed within installers.
