antivirus / spyware / malware software

JawnDiablo - 12-15-2009 at 08:59 AM

Would one of you be able to reccommend me some software to combat spyware / malware?
I currently have the free version of AVG and it can not remove the malware on the PC.
It says I have the Cryptor thing and it can not be healed, plus it also says my virus vault is full.
I have looked up information online, but am skeptical of downloading / buying any of them, being i am unfamiliar with the products.
I really don't know anyone with knowledge of such things, so if any of you can help, I would really appreciate it.

Malwarebytes anti-malware is good and free. The free version of Avira is good too.

number one thing I recommend is go to bleepingcomputer.com if you are having a serious problem. you can post a thread with the details of your issue and they'll have someone guide you through getting it solved. there are a lot of things going on right now and they are kind of busy. They always recommend you start with mbam but there are some other good programs they suggest using.

I was cleaning my computer last night and now it acts like I don't have a fucking op sys. I'm posting from my wife's macbook.

malwarebyte helped get rid of a lot of the shit

Good. there are alot of those things that can slip by unnoticed. What's plaguing me has managed to elude malwarebytes and until I renamed the exe files for different anti-malware programs it wouldn't allow those to run in their entirety or at all. Pretty sinister.
