Spyware Remover Needed Please(free)

[Tindo]

Please help guys, whats the best Free Spyware remover, or maybe even a boot/live anti spyware tool I can put on a cd, I just got hit and been trying loads of tools to no avail. Thanks

spybot search & destroy (safer networking)

or malwarebytes antimalware

You could format the OS hdd and thats maybe the best solution but takes more time. I usually run adaware and the spybot search &..... and also let my antivirus do full scans.

Dr.web free trial download it, scan your pc, then download comodo firewall, then scan with malwarebytes

So which program found it?

Can highly recommend Emsisoft - http://www.emsisoft.com/en/

Helped me more than once where Malwarebytes didn't detect a thing.

Do you have the paid version? Or does the free version do the job just fine?

I just use the free version. AFAIK the only major thing that's missing from it is the live/pro-active scanning feature. Other than that you can use it as and when necessary and it does the same as the paid version.

Cool, thanks. In the past I've just used Malwarebytes and Spybot is installed on the Servers at work

I always start with Combofix. That's the best program I have found for cleaning up some of the worst spyware and rootkits and a scan takes less than 20 minutes. I then follow up with Malwarebytes and sometimes Superantispyware. If the system still isn't clean by then I will reinstall the OS.

Hiren's BootCD has a ton of stuff on for doing this sort of thing so that is always worth a try. More often than not though I find it faster and easier to wipe and start again (other peoples machines I mean, I have not had an infection in years).
