Hi everyone,
This is the first of a number of posts we want to put out here to give a little back to the community.
At All IT, we see a lot of machines come through which are infected with malware/viruses, and a lot of time they’re somewhat easy to remove. We also understand that small businesses are often on a tight budget and IT often consumes a large portion of that. We want to help you allocate money to the areas of IT which make a difference to the efficiency and growth of your business.
Here you'll find a few free anti-malware applications which (collectively), in most cases will remove all malware on your machine.
The common terms which fall under the malware umbrella are ones like virus, spyware, adware and rootkits. Although these terms all mean something different, they're all unwanted little nasties.
There are a few key applications that we use to remove malware and here is the order we usually run them:
1) Malwarebytes Anti-Malware - www.malwarebytes.org
You can download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware here
2) SUPERAntiSpyware - www.superantispyware.com
You can download SUPERAntiSpyware portable edition here
3) Spybot Search and Destroy - www.safer-networking.org
You can download Spybot Search and Destroy here from any of the servers on this site.
These are all fairly simple applications to run and use, and we are more than happy to help you if you get stuck or have any questions around this topic.
