What Malware removal tool do you use?

I get asked this question a lot.  People are always being infected with a virus, or some piece of software that is just plain ol’ bad for your PC.

What software do I use to get rid of those nasty programs?  You know the ones that are trying to get your information, or destroy your PC.  I use a couple of programs depending on how bad the infection is, but as my start I always use Malware Bytes.

Once you have installed this program, its really easy to use it, and keep your machine clean.

Just click on “Perform Full Scan” and “Scan”.

Once you have run this atleast twice then you can run quick scans after that.  If the program find anything it will prompt you to remove it, or clean it automatically.

Here are the settings that I use

and I recommend that you click on the update tab and check for updates every time that you go to run the software after your first download.

You don’t need to purchase the software to get the functionality, but if you like the software, why not give the developers something for their time.
