Malware Removal Recommendations
Hi!
I would like to know what you all would recommend as a good
Malware/Spyware/Adware (spyware and adware are forms of
malware, right?) Anyway, would also like to hear Anti-Virus
program opinions/recommendations as well.
Thanks much!

Super antispyware and Malwayerbyte both are good for malware and spyware removal.

Had a problem with WinPC Defender popups. Downloaded Spyware Doctor and it did not help. spent hours researching on how to remove. Turnned on puter this morning and went for coffee. Got back anndscreen was full of popups from winPc Defender...After closing all of them my Norton 360 was there with a warning about that program. Clicked fix and it was GONE. Norton did the job.
