Virus Removal

[Ruger22C]

What virus removal software and freeware should I use for virus removal on client's computers?

Legal programs only, I don't pirate.

Thanks.

Go to the Security Resource Thread Sticky and click on the link to John's Malware Guide, read his guide, download his rogue removal kit, unzip it, and read his Readme.pdf file.

I also use rkill for for stopping those virus processes that prevent you from running AV programs. You can download it here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic308364.html

This is an excellent site for analyzing HijackThis logs: http://www.hijackthis.de/

There are also bootable av disks: http://www.avira.com/en/support-download-avira-antivir-rescue-system

These are all free and legal programs.

Hmmm... rkill. Never heard of it. Looks interesting. I'll have to download it and save a copy. Never know when it will come in handy. Thanks.
