Can anyone give me a list of best malware/trojans/rootkits/adware/PUPs removal tools?

As title says, I need a list of best malware removal software.


I know MBAM, Adwcleaner, Zemana AntiMalware, RogueKiller, JRT, EEK, Adware by TSA, HitmanPro, ESET Online Scanner, Avast free antivirus, Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool. What else is it good as well?


Is SUPERAntiSpyware safe & effective?
Hello there !

Some additional tools :

GMER for rootkits
RogueKiller (needs to read every detected malware, lot of false positives)
Rkill > This one is pretty useful when some of your malware block anti-malware known processes or online search about anti malware


SUPERAntiSpyware> Don't know this one, can't help you sorry

You should also take a look about FRST, but it's more like an analysis tool than an automatic detection tool.

Can I ask you why are you looking for more tools, think you are infected ?

Never heard about something like that. Do you have BSOD ?

Can you check the eventvwr or share some dump results ?

You are interested about malware removal / white hat section ?

Good to see members who are involved into white hat group 🙂

About the the event viewer go in this way :
> Use the Windows Key + R
> In the new windows type "eventvwr"
> A new windows will open, in this one you have 5 categories and it saves every important events

For the dump files, check here in this folder:

C:\Windows\Minidump

How can I find the right specific crashing dump?

Thank you.
Just launch FRST and when it crashes, reboot and take the last one which was created

I think AV blocks it.

Is SUPERAntiSpyware safe & effective?

Yes SuperAntiSpyware is safe and quite effective, here is a few more not in your list...

ZoneAlarm FireWall Do not trust windows built in firewall, this is a excellent replacement.
Comodo Cleaning Essentials I like this where it as got KillSwitch, HijackCleaner, Autorun Analyzer, Malware Scanner.
Crystal Security Also lets you know about changes on your computer in real time.
ReasonCoreSecurity This is quite effective, here is the Bleeping Computer link aswell.
SpywareBlaster This can prevent the installation of spyware, adware, hijackers and protect browsers.
Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit BETA This is good at finding what MBAM missed.
TDSSKiller This quite good at finding rootkits.
Spybot Search and Destroy One of the first spyware scanners we had and it still does a good job.
CryptoPrevent Even though the free version is not now updated it is still wise to install the final version for added protection.

Thank you very much. About SUPERAntiSpyware, I installed Professional Subscription. I installed license and added to my hosts file:
0.0.0.0 superantispyware.com
0.0.0.0 license.superantispyware.com
Is it better to have Professional edition instead of free one or not?

The free version should be enough unless you want Real Time Protection, Auto Updates and Scheduled Scanning.

I forgot to mention Bitdefender Antivirus Free and Dr.Web CureIt!
