I'll have to take everyone's word on this: I've never HAD a virus or malware infestation in 17+ years online - and I've never had any protection program find one before it infested - so I don't know from experience if it's better than others or not. |

Yes, there is a commercial version but you don't need to buy MBAM to use it. As for getting rid of XP Antivirus 2009: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malware-removal/uninstall-antivirus-2009 These may work for you and all may be well. However, in many cases the computer will also be infected with Zlob and/or Vundo trojans and protected by a rootkit. These machines are extremely difficult to clean. If your machine is one of these cases, either get guided help at one of the specialty forums below OR back up your data and do a clean install of Windows. It is your choice. If you are unsure how to back up your data or how to do a clean install, you can take your machine to a local computer professional.

Having had a brush with Antivirus 2009 earlier today when pop-ups appeared and my browser would not close via the top-right [X] nor via the Task Bar and I resorted to killing it using CTRL-ALT-DEL to fire up the Task Manager, I have now successfully downloaded and run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware which I can now confirm is available from the page and download link indicated in my earlier posting (below) and that it is free for non commercial use. A link on the user interface points to Malwarebytes Online Store where a "Protection Module" can be purchased for 17.45 pounds sterling. Happily an initial Quick Scan (Time elapsed: 2 minutes, 28 seconds) and a subsequent Full Scan (Time elapsed: 58 minutes, 27 seconds) both showed zero infections. I append the second scan log between quote lines. I am using Vista Home Premium 32bit and a conventional dual core PC.

I ran a full scan yesterday and it, amusingly, found my on-line poker program to be malware... Hmmmmmmmm ;-) -- Regards, Hank Arnold Microsoft MVP Windows Server - Directory Services |

On the contrary, these are both perfectly legitimate and very helpful sites, and have been hignly recommended by many knowledgeable technicians for quite some time now. > For your problem, the site true is: > http: > > Thank you, JBosco..from Brazil.
