[Closed] panda virus scan and malwarebytes

Recently, I caught some malware. I asked on here what was going on and someone recommended MalwareBytes another recommended Ad-aware.

I'm now running Norton Internet Security, MalwareBytes and Ad-Aware.

I guess we'll always be stuck with the idiots who feel the need to wright malicious code, hack websites, etc.

Solo.

Or is that "write"......DOH !.

Malwarebytes does a pretty good job in the FOC version - some malware "programs" will block it's acess to it's primary mirror site, so try a different update site if it can't updated.

malwarebytes, superantispyware and spybot s&d usually detect/remove pretty much all malware/spyware between them (as long as they're up to date and your "infection" isn't preventing you from installing/updating them).
if you see anywhere that advises you to use Combofix, be wary... it's good, but VERY powerful if you don't know exactly what you're doing and i've seen people kill their OS with it.

Aye but you could always remove norton as a start.

so far I've been very impressed with malwarebytes -

My neighbour got a shed load of nasties, a good mixture of presistent viruses, malware and trojans, and malwarebytes was the only thing I found capable to strip it all out. Very impressive piece of software!
