[amywhite]

Just wondering if anyone could offer me some good advice. What is the best scanning and removal software for malware adware cookies etc that actually genuinely does work?

I don't really know but for the love of god please write in black, that colour is driving me crazy, thanks.

I use this to get rid of malware and it really does work in my experience.

I'll offer you some good advice:
Use the regular black font so that people won't have to select your text before being able to read it.

On-topic; I'd personally recommend HitmanPro and Malwarebytes

+1 for Malwarebytes

http://www.malwarebytes.org/

Been a while since I've used it though.

combofix
Malwarebytes
Malwarebytes anti-rootkit
ccleaner
hijackthis

I usually start with those.

edit: Kaspersky rescue disk as well if the machine is really bad.

Malware bytes is defo the best antimalware around in my opinion...

Also I use Revo Uninstaller Pro to monitor all my app / driver installations...

Malwarebytes FTW

Another vote for malware bytes, comodo internet security has been topping leak and zero day test recently.

We need separate softwares for different kinds of threats.Some recommendations are given below:-

For malware removal
Malware Bytes

For Virus Threats
Avast
Kaspersky
Immunet
Commodo

For Spyware Removal
Spybot software

Generally any AV is ok nowadays, some have more or less impact on the system performance imo. Generally just stick AVG or Avast on.

For less nasty infections or as a 2nd wave attack I use malwarebytes and adwcleaner.

For nasty ones, combofix, tdsskiller and maybe even kaspersky boot disk. Rkill is useful too for killing anything protecting itself.

Malwarebytes and Spybot Search and Destroy used together are very effective.
