A list of very good malware / spyware / virus scanners for you to use:
* MalwareBytes Anti-Malware: THE best scanner & malware killer I've ever used. Does NOT run active in the background. * Microsoft Security Essentials: One of the better "runs in the background" anti-virus programs I've seen. (Far, far better than Norton or McAfee; doesn't drain processing power.) * Spybot: An old classic, useful for "immunization" to prevent adware and spyware from getting on your system in the first place. * SUPER Anti-Spyware: Another anti-virus / anti-malware scanner and removal tool. Useful if the other programs detection files didn't find whatever is on your system for some reason. * TDSSKiller: A tool specifically designed to find and remove rootkits.
