Hope you remember the posts I put up about the phishing, phony and ransom malware. At the time, I didn’t know about this malware removal tool.

You remember how they’d advertise a “free scan” and install their malware on your computer that way (either via link in email or by following an “ad”).

Others even advertised themselves as AVG, Bitdefender or Microsoft antivirals. Recently in gHacks, I read about a specific piece of software which has

updated from being able to remove 27 malware apps to 74 in version 1.81 . That’s worth noting, as is the fact that it’s portable so it can be included in your “Visiting Repairman” toolbox, and it’s a good addition to have, I believe.

All you have to do is install it, or download it and save it to your zip drive.

While you’re in a shopping mood, I ran across this app sometime back. You’d think that removing a virus would return things to be as they were, but it doesn’t.

In order to save yourself a lot of extra work, try this app: Virus Effect Remover. It links up with all your MS repair tools and does just about as much fixing as you might need.

If it doesn’t, running the “non-destructive installation” certainly will (or you’ve got more than one malware infection).
