In my opinion, you should run SUPERAnti-Spyware first, then MalwareBytes Anti-Malware followed by Spybot and Ad-Adware. So which programs should you choose to run? Luckily, I’ve already written an article on the best free anti-spyware, anti-malware and anti-virus programs currently out there. Once you are in Safe Mode, you need to run several scanning programs one after the other until no more instances of infection are found.

To get started, read my post on how to reboot Windows 7/8/10 into Safe Mode. In order to get around this, you have to either scan the system before the operating system boots up or you have to get Windows into Safe Mode and start the scanning process there. However, a lot of these newer viruses are smart and prevent you from running anti-virus or anti-malware tools inside Windows. So the best thing to do when you have a nasty infection with multiple viruses, malware or spyware on your system is to run multiple programs. The thing to remember is that different virus removal programs will bring different results and none of them are 100% completely accurate.įor example, you can scan your computer with one virus removal program, remove the viruses and then turn around a scan your computer with a different program, which will catch even more viruses that the first program didn’t pick up. There are thousands of different programs out there in the spyware/virus removal category, many of which are free. In those types of instances, you best option is to perform a clean install, which is the only sure-fire way to ensure that all remnants of the infection are gone.
Obviously, not all malware is created equal and some items are far harder to remove than others.
