Malware & Virus Removal

Maintenance
Tools

ACS recommends the following malware and virus removal software. As with all malware removal software it is advised to use the software as recommended by the vendor and to carefully review any quarantine or removal of found issues. Should you need help with malware or virus removal please contact us for support. With the exception of Anti-Virus software, it is recommended you use the free version of the software. The tools listed below should not be used in place of an Anti-Virus program like Norton 360 or Eset Nod32.

Malwarebytes is a comprehensive malware removal tool. When installing make sure to choose NOT to install the pro demo version as this will cause Malwarebytes to run continuously in the background. Make sure it does an update prior to running the scan.

Spybot is also a very comprehensive program. Again be sure to run updates prior to running any scans. Full system scans are recommended for all programs.

This program takes very little time to run but does an excellent job of finding malware. Should this program find issues, it is recommended you also run one or more of the programs listed above.

CCleaner is a tool that removes temporary files and cleans your harddrive of unwanted files like cookies and temporary internet files. The free version is recommended. The program once loaded should be run with the default settings.

Defraggler is a defragmenting tool that takes fragmented files and puts them back together as well as condenses the harddrive structure.

************* ALL TOOLS ARE TO BE USED AT YOUR OWN RISK, IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH USING THE TOOLS LISTED BELOW YOU SHOULD CONTACT ASSOCIATED COMPUTER SOLUTIONS FOR SUPPORT PRIOR TO USE ***************
