Malwarebytes

If you are unlucky enough to be infectd with Anti-Virus 2008/9 then you will know how difficult it is to remove. Malwarebytes does it with ease, I have used it on several laptops at work with success each time http://www.malwarebytes.org/

Thanks Glenn.

It finds more Trojans than Ad-Aware, Spy-Bot, and Superantispyware

You may want to check out my review of anti malware at http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-adware-spyware-scumware-remover.htm (where MalwareBytes anti malware did rather well)

I hope this won't be seen as free advertising for what is essentially a free web resource.

glad to see you mentioned threatfire in your review. I think it's a great little app.  It's picked up on many things i have been doing that could easily have been malicious.

[D-Dan]

Is it just me - or do you find Threatfire can be a little too aggressive? With me - it prevented installation of ATI catalyst - and it took me weeks to work out it was ThreatFire stopping it.

I see it as good, impartial advice from a trusted member, Steve.

Whatever you get up to in your own time is your business.

Good stuff guys, I'm going to sticky this.

[Simon]

Stickier than Sticky the stick insect, stuck on a sticky bun?

[Rik]

Indeed, thoroughly blackaddered.

[jane]

I can't believe no-one's noticed the typo yet? 

[Rik]

Which one, Jane - there are so many around here normally.

[jane]

In the header .......... Male-ware-bytes 

[Rik]

Oops! A karma for spotting it. 

[jane]

Oo thanks....the site's down at the moment as well

[Rik]

So's the typo.

So's the typo.

Spoil sport, I missed it.. 

[Rik]

Actually it was there from the outset, just none of us spotted it.

[Inactive]

I couldn't see it, even after Jane commented about it.

[Rik]

I'd probably removed it by then.

[Simon]

It doesn't usually take you a second to spot mine!   

[Rik]

Some are more spotlit than others. I once typed, of my boss at Adobe, that he was just going to bad as I was getting up. I did, of course, mean bed, due to the 8 hour time difference. I was never allowed to forget it though.
