Sunbelt’s Vipre - My Closing Opinion - Part 1
Vipre performed really well at detecting and removing malware, but only in safemode (remember, strictly speaking on removal abilities here). Basically there were too many infections and not enough RAM (512MB).

Before You Remove Malware…BACKUP!

A friend brought me his Windows XP workstation loaded with malware. I removed the malware with SuperAntiSpyware and MalwareBytes (since he didn’t want to buy any antivirus) in safemode. Once the first round of scans and removals were completed I rebooted. [...]

Vundo Removal Updated for June 08

Remove A lot of Restrictions from Malware
If your PC has been “locked down” from a nasty malware infection you can remove almost all the restrictions by deleting registry values found in this key:
*Before you modify your registry be sure to back it up first by viewing this article*
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
There should not be any values in that key, especially ones that start with [...]
3 ways to manually remove malware
Last night I had a client with a rather large malware infection on his PC. The client previously stated that if I could fix the issue in 1.5 hours or less he would hire me. Of course, I said I could!
