Hi guys,

My boss has asked me to rid his mrs pc of a few virus and malware stuff she has picked up. I can run virus checker ad-aware, spybot etc sure but iwanted to go equipped with everything i could need.

Can you please suggest some good free anti-malware software that i can bung on a usb stick and take with me tomorrow, thanks in advance!

Malware Bytes is good removal, not sure if it does protection or not.

I suggest you download and install Microsoft's Security Essentials. (http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/) This is completely free and you have free updates for life. A very good peice of AV software, no bloat and unobtrusive, just how AV should really be.

Also Malwarebytes Antimalware (http://forums.aria.co.uk/www.malwarebytes.org) is a great and free to use "Nasty" malware remover. Will get rid of most bad infections. I also recommend Spybot Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html) which will remove more tracking cookies and such.

When removing nasty ingrained viruses for customers, I often use ESET online scanner. (http://www.eset.com/online-scanner) When no av is installed or to be trusted.
