By now, the threat of spyware has become as prevalent as that of viruses.
Consequently, there are a ton ofspyware removal programsout there.
Why should you choose one program to delete spyware over the other?
Well there are a few reasons, but generally it comes down to features and greater protection.
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malwareis a good example of the latter.
Now I’m considering adding Malwarebytes to my list.
The install is very quick because there really aren’t a lot of bells and whistles on the program.
After install, check to see that the updates are as recent as possible.
This is done on the “Update” tab.
Once you’re all updated, try scanning.
A short scan will target common hot-spots and a full scan will cover everything but take a long time.
Most of these were in the registry or in infected program files.
This shows the value of having mulitple spyware libraries from which to run scans.
The program does have a few more options open to you.
you might restrict what is scanned and you might also add a contextual right-click option to scan individual files.
This second option is handy for anytime you have to download a file that you think is suspect.
Most virus-scanners also have this capability, but this will check for malware as well.
Malwarebytes has two extra tools on board.
Also, there is a program for deleting locked files.
