I'm tired of going round to clients houses / businesses and removing virus's manually, following a walkthrough guide off the internet.

What's the best software to use to find virus's, one that updates its database hourly maybe?

Any help would be appreciated.

F-Secure sits in the background and does a good job of keeping tabs without raping your system resources.

Ive always found AVG to be ok but on older pcs can slow them down a little. deffo stay away from Norton & mcafee , be safer to leave the virus on there

AVG, Mcafee, Norton etc are all shit. Good for home use, but shit for finding blatent infections in the system.

Malwarebytes and Avast is what i generally use to remove shit from people computers. TBH, malwarebytes usually gets rid of it all anyway

Malware antibytes is a good bit of kit.

Microsoft security essentials has always picked up a lot for me as well

NOD32 and MBAM are what I use in 99% of occasions.

MBAM is a different sort of product from antivirus programs, they both catch things the other doesn't.

I used NOD32, Malware Antibytes (disabled 99% of the time) and Regrun as well as CCleaner on startup to remove dodgy registry keys, and reg run has a list of allowed start up software you define, so if a virus is trying to start at start up it stops it from running and deletes it

I don't have anything on my home PC, I am a big torrent user, never had a problem.

NOD and MBAM are for other peoples.

Fair enough John, lately I have been having a problem with unwise_.exe, seems to be in almost every working keygen I find (I dl some very random stuff), so thats why I have regrun so it doesnt matter if its in the gen or not.

I'm thinking of taking a malware removal course when I finish uni for summer, it's all online and could be pretty useful imo.

Only be worth it if you get some sort of certificatation imo.

Still a good thing to go on, especially if you're not familiar how to remove them / not the type to sit and learn on your own.

Apparantly so, I usually depend on google to sort stuff out. What if internet is disabled or certain programs are disabled, it's a case of using another laptop/computer to sort something out. I'd rather be able to do it off top of my head lol.
