Just wondering what people typically do/use for antivirus/malware/hijack solutions.
When I get an infected system I typically:
- remove the hard drive, put it in my USB enclosure, scan it with Malware Bytes and Avast. For infested systems I'll run GMER on it.
- put the drive back in the system unit, boot to safe mode, run msconfig and disable ALL startup objects and any non-Microsoft services that look suspicious.
- Sometimes I'll manually remove entries from the registry if I'm sure it's spyware/malware.
Malware Bytes is pretty amazing, but occasionally it misses or cannot remove the odd thing.
Just wanted to know what software others were using, especially with respect to Hijacking (excluding Hijack This).
Cheers!
