Malware

Anyone please suggest a genuine malware tool,i think i have a fake Flash player,and have endless pop ups,and keep getting directed to unwanted sites.

Hello,
My brother recommended Malwarebytes to me as it`s free and it seems to be pretty good.

Though I would await a few other recommendations ,because when it comes to software , I don't really know too much .

Malwarebytes is 1 of the best.

Have run malwarebytes,not got rid of the problem.

I've used Spybot in the past, it seems to do a good job.

This is worth trying too - http://www.superantispyware.com/

Hi,

Or maybe do system restore from windows , that might work.

Or stop watching so much porn , I think that's when you get most of those problems, lol

^^ Thing is, most malicious software deletes your restore points, so you can't roll back to a time before you were infected.

#Conspiracy... I bet the people who write the anti mallware/spyware/virus software are working in conjunction with the people who make the malicious software in the first place...It's a bit like the cure for cancer being kept under wraps, as soon as you release it the funding stops.

If your getting all these pop ups which could be malicious it's best to back up all your data and then just do a system recovery to wipe out everything and start again, i know its a pain but one time I exprienced cryptolocker and I lost all stuff so best to plan ahead

the best of the best is malwarebytes. ive used it along side avira free for the last 8 years. never had a flash infection.
also use hijack this and remove any bho's (browser helper objects)
no need to fresh install in most cases as there just surface infections that usually just reside in the registry and an exe file somewhere on the drive. 1s you kill them there should be no more issues.
i would also suggest you delete any restore points as the infections can reside there also. ready to pop back up 1s you use the restore feature.

another tip is use a browser that lets you disable auto play on vids. opera does this when you use turbo mode (also allows you to use many blocked torrent sites without using a proxy)
lastly update to the latest flash version as its only older versions that have the current flash exploit.

finally op which antimalware/antivirus were you using?
