I use AVG Free and FreeFixer
http://www.freefixer.com/blog/
Problem is AVG Free didn't do a thing to help me with the AntiVirus System Pro malware I got a couple weeks ago.
This AntiVirus Systerm Pro used a iehelper.dll to put a (lutcsysguard.exe) file in my prefetch. Which started a fake virus scan on every reboot.
FreeFixer helped me find it and deleted the lutcsysguard files. I later moved iehelper.dll from my System32 folder.
Note: I got this virus (and others) thru Adobe reader. I have (that is HAD) old versions of Adobe Reader on my comp.
I would be sitting at my comp when all of a sudden. The Adobe Reader splash page would appear. I wondered, 'How did this happen? I didn't click on Adobe Reader.'
THEN
The viruses would start. Well, I finally put 2 and 2 together. And got rid of Adobe.

shout out to otis droppin the link to the uniinstall thread
spent 6 hours trying to fix my pc today
you get it straight?
Man this is AWESOME! Thank you so much for this. I am bookmarking this list for future use it is so good. I am currently using NOD 32 Eset Smart Security, and I really do like it, but I have to reset the password every 1-2 months. But it is WAY better than McAffe that we get from the school (resource hog). Thanks again for this!
Props to the OP. I installed Panda Cloud Beta around the same time this thread was created, and I must say it is nice. Rated no.1 by PC World it's not even noticeable using "cloud" based update signatures. It's still in Beta, so there are still a few bugs, but the blog gives you work-around solutions for all of them and they just put out a version for Windows 7. Just today I updated and ran Spybot Search & Malwarebytes for the 1st time in at least 2 months, and they came up empty. Panda Cloud highly recommended.
Yea I have my eye on that.
Noted. Panda came through for me when I got my first ever trojan thanks to Smiley Central back in 2004
im the type of ninja that says if it aint broke, dont try to fuck around with it. BUT i will have to wait for it to come out of panda and try it out. i like to be up to date with whats what
You should be good to go with that unless you just enjoy testing a buncha programs.
Other good programs that would complement what you have are ccleaner, malwarebytes, tuneuputilities 2009, superantispyware pro
