Hi Brian,
this is great and very helpful guide.  Karma Up


Also, I have few (small) suggestions:

1. more recommended Free AV's, for example: AVG, Avira, Panda... you have them in SCF's AV area (with "reviews" from SCF members): http://scforum.info/index.php/board,10.0.html

2. more recommended AV Online Scanners for double check, here is SCforum's list: http://scforum.info/index.php/topic,734.0.html

3. addition of "Microsoft's Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool" in "Removal Process" (or somewhere else), here is SCforum's list of good Virus removal tools: http://scforum.info/index.php/topic,4510.0.html

4. additional advice to users, how is important to keep Windows (and other operating systems) updated with latest patches, hot-fixes...


For the end, it'll be very nice from you to include "SCforum.info - Security [CENTRAL] Forum": http://scforum.info in your "Useful Resources" page: http://www.selectrealsecurity.com/useful-security-resources and to recommend SCforum's "PC Help Center": http://scforum.info/index.php/board,16.0.html in your "Get Expert Analysis" area: http://www.selectrealsecurity.com/malware-removal-guide#forums


Hope these suggestions will help you... ??

Best Regards,

Samker

Hi everyone,

Recently, I've been getting questions about my recent update (particularly the part about removing SuperAntiSpyware). I would like share the reasons why I removed SAS.

I removed SuperAntiSpyware for the following main reasons:

1. SuperAntiSpyware has the lowest malware detection rates compared to Malwarebytes and HitmanPro.
2. The fact that HitmanPro uses 4 antivirus engines to detect malware.
3. Malwarebytes and HitmanPro provide adequate malware removal when used together.
 
SuperAntiSpyware is still an excellent product, and I will definitely keep an eye on it.  Smiley
