The BEST is Super Anti Spyware

Or SuperAntiSpyware

Run a complete scan with the new spybot 1.6.0.30, and delete all

Download from the "Softpedia secure download (RO)"

Hint: When downloading and you get to the options window, remove check from "Separate secure shredder application

Answer 6

No single anti-spyware application is perfect so I recommend using at least 2 different programs. Spybot Search & Destroy is one of the best. I also recommend SUPERAntiSpyware. Other free anti-spyware programs would be Adaware, AVG Anti-spyware (formally Ewido), A-squared, Spyware Terminator and SpywareBlaster.

I strongly recommend using FireFox, it's a far better and safer alternative to Internet Explorer. If you add-on McAfee SiteAdvisor, it will warn you of potentially harmful sites. I also recommend CCleaner which is a free system optimization and privacy tool.  

Answer 7

AVG Free 8.0 and Windows Defender. If you have those two, and you're not downloading from shady places, you won't get infected.

Answer 8

Avast boot scan in Windows safe mode is the most effective way to get rid of

stubborn trojans and viruses that keep coming back to haunt you.

These trojan and viruses hide themselves in system restore folder and

many anti-virus programs cannot get rid of them. So whenever, you restart your PC,

the viruses are restore back by WIndows.

Avast boot scan help to get rid of them in the system restore folders and ensure your system are clean.
