Clean and Scan Malwarebytes - Notes on Use
|
Notes:
Cookies are not a big problem. If you have already used CCleaner before this session, there should be no cookies to worry about.
Malwarebytes may require a reboot for some infections - If so, follow the dialog instructions, and allow reboot.
Reoccuring problems:
A reoccuring problem (that is not a cookie) has the potential of being
a big problem. Try running Malwarebytes from safe mode. if that doesn't fix
it, please call for consultation.
Interference from Antivirus:
As files are scanned, if viruses are present, your anti-virus product
may pop up as Malwarebytes is scanning. It detects the access to a viral file
by Malwarebytes. If this occurs, it is best to cancel the anti-virus notice,
cancel your Malwarebytes scan, and update and run your Anti-virus product
before attempting further spyware removal.
Comments: Malwarebytes has replaced Lavasoft Adaware in my recommended list. I believe it to be the anti-malware scanner to rely upon.
Malwarebytes
is free as a manual scanner, but if you'd like to support these folks,
they do offer a paid version with real-time capabilities.
