Malware Removal Software

Having our PC malfunctioning due to issues related with malware, is quite common. To get back the normal operation of your computer can cost you both in time and money. Below are presented a couple of applications that will allow you to remove the malware that has infected your PC, soon enough and without charges: MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and Microsoft Security Essentials.

* Note: The guidelines/software presented below will help you in most of the cases. We do not bring any responsibility for any damage that might be caused to your equipment.

** Note: Proceed with extreme caution. If you are not sure on how to proceed, it would be wise to make a backup copy of your data beforehand.

PAY ATTENTION TO:

1. Microsoft Security Essentials requires that you have a legitimate copy of Microsoft Windows.

2. Avoid installing two or more Antivirus applications on your computer. You can install these two applications though without any issues.

3. When installing MalwareBytes Anti-malware, you will be presented with an option to install the MalwareBytes Anti-malware Pro version. This version of the product has the benefit of scanning in real-time your computer for malware. This is true for a specified amount of time though. After that, you will be asked to pay for the product. If you choose not to have real-time protection, the product will not expire and you will be able to download updates frequently. The downside of this case, is that you will have to manually scan your system for malware. The choice is yours to make.

4. Update the database of both products before proceeding with a scan. This will give you a chance of detecting some malware that could not be detected with the old database version of the product.

5. Make sure that you scan your system frequently, even if you do not suspect that there is something wrong with it.

There are several rules that you can follow in order to avoid having your computer infected with malware.

MALWARE REMOVAL:

We consider MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and Microsoft Security Essentials as reliable.

· Microsoft Security Essentials - free to download from Microsoft.

· MalwareBytes Anti-malware - free to download from MalwareBytes.

INSTALLATION and USE

1. When the installation is completed, proceed with an update and then with a full scan on your system. Both applications will guide you on how to get that done.

2. When the scanning procedure is completed you may be asked to restart your computer. Proceed with that step.

3. If you keep having problems after that or if the use of the antivirus/anti-malware software is not possible, you will have to require the assistance of a professional.

How to Remove Malware and Spyware From a Computer

What is Spyware/Malware?
