Quick Tips to Remove Malware

If you have malware on your computer and need a few simple options read on!

1. Download ComboFix and run it from safemode.

Combofix is a really stout tool for getting rid of known malware. It doesn't play well with other Anti-Virus tools so you may be prompted to uninstall your current Anti-Virus.

2. Goto my tutorial site (stop-malware.com) and read up on another useful malware removal tool. It's a free rescue cd that you can download from companies like Avira or AVG. They are very useful in detecting hard to find malware and getting them removed.

You actually boot your computer up with this CD and it scans before Windows even loads. This provides some benefit because rootkits that commonly hide or restart malware will not be active.

3.Lastly, I think downloading a 30 day trial of a Full Version antivirus program can help.

If your computer for some reason or another will not let you install an anti-virus program I strongly suggest you visit my website www.stop-malware.com or launch Combofix from safemode and see if that works.

Bear in mind it is wise to scan several times, rootkits can usually only be found by anomaly detection. That usually takes multiple scans.

Best of Luck!
