How to remove Malware, Adware, etc. - programs to protect your PC from viruses

07.08.2023

Malwarebytes" Anti-Malware (or MBAM) is a program designed to search for and remove malware. It first became available to users in 2008. Thanks to the simple launch of a quick scan and user-friendly interface, we can recommend downloading the Malwarebytes anti malware (rus) program even not very experienced users.

Initially, the developers' idea was to create an antivirus that would be able to find viruses that were out of sight of analogues. After all, spies that steal information and advertising plugins are often introduced onto your computer, bypassing the antivirus. This program is designed to find such malicious elements and quarantine them along with other worms and Trojans.

Possibilities:

  • includes antivirus, antispyware module, anti-rootkit, blocker of malicious websites;
  • runs on Windows 2000/XP/Vista;
  • scan all disks on PC;
  • daily database update;
  • quarantine and recovery if necessary;
  • "ignore list";
  • settings to speed up work;
  • manual removal;
  • launch from command line;
  • integration with context menu Windows.

Principle of operation:

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware's interface is simple and straightforward. After running the scan, it will provide you with the results; the highlighted items in the list will be asked to delete. When the program finishes, a log file will open describing its actions. It must be said that the product in question has two scanning modes - fast and normal. The user can also specify which drives should be scanned. While running, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware monitors every running process, and if it detects any suspicious activity, it stops it before it can cause damage.

Pros:

  • Malwarebytes anti malware can be downloaded for free in Russian;
  • does not conflict with other antiviruses and antispyware.

Minuses:

  • does not provide real-time protection;
  • cannot scan flash drives.

To sum it up, we can say the following: with such meticulous, but at the same time fast scanning this program will be an excellent addition to any computer. Manual removal of unwanted software, quarantine recovery and ignore list are also good reasons to download Malwarebytes anti malware. Reviews of this software among users are the most positive. Whether their number will increase is up to you to decide.

Good morning!

In addition to viruses (which only the lazy don’t talk about), you can often “catch” various malicious software on the network, such as: malware, adware (a type of adware, usually it shows you a variety of advertisements on all sites), spyware (which can monitor your “movements” on the network, and even steal personal information) and other “nice” programs.

No matter what the developers of anti-virus software claim, it is worth admitting that in most of these cases their product is ineffective (and often completely ineffective and will not help you in any way). In this article I will present several programs that will help cope with this problem.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free - main program window

One of best programs to combat Malware (and also has the largest database for searching and scanning malware). Perhaps its only drawback is that it is a paid product (but there is trial version, which is quite enough to check the PC).

After installing and running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware - just click the Scan button - in 5-10 minutes your Windows OS will be scanned and cleaned of various malware. Before running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, it is recommended to disable your antivirus program (if you have one installed) - conflicts are possible.

IObit Malware Fighter

IObit Malware Fighter Free is a free version of the program for removing spyware and malware from your PC. Thanks to special algorithms (which differ from the algorithms of many antivirus programs), IObit Malware Fighter Free is able to find and remove a variety of Trojans, worms, scripts that change your home page and install advertising in the browser, keyloggers (they are especially dangerous now that the services of online banks have been developed).

The program works with everyone Windows versions(7, 8, 10, 32/63 bits), supports Russian language, simple and clear interface (by the way, a lot of tips and reminders are shown, even a beginner won’t be able to forget or miss anything!). In general, an excellent program for protecting your PC, I recommend it.

SpyHunter

SpyHunter - main window. By the way, the program also has a Russian-language interface (by default, as in the screenshot, English).

This program is an antispyware (works in real time): it easily and quickly finds Trojans, adware, malware (partially), and fake antiviruses.

SpyHuner (translated as “Spy Hunter”) - can work in parallel with an antivirus; all modern versions of Windows 7, 8, 10 are also supported. The program is quite easy to use: an intuitive interface, tips, threat graphs, the ability to exclude those or other files, etc.

In my opinion, nevertheless, the program was relevant and indispensable several years ago, today a couple of products are higher - they look more interesting. However, SpyHunter is one of the leaders in computer protection software.

A good, high-quality cloud scanner that is used to restore your computer's functionality after being infected with malware. By the way, the scanner will be useful even if you have an antivirus installed on your PC.

The program works quite quickly: it has its own database of “good” files, and a database of “bad” ones. All files that are unknown to her will be scanned through the Zemana Scan Cloud.

Cloud technology, by the way, does not slow down or load your computer, so it works as fast as before installing this scanner.

The program is compatible with Windows 7, 8, 10, and can work simultaneously with most antivirus programs.

A small free utility that will quickly scan your PC for a variety of malware.

The utility, although not large, can: stop infected processes and subsequently delete the infected files themselves, correct registry settings, change the configuration of the Windows firewall (some software changes it for themselves), clean the Host file (many viruses also add lines to it - because of this, you get ads in your browser).

Important note! Although the utility does its job well, the developers no longer support it. It is possible that in a year or two it will lose its relevance...

AdwCleaner

An excellent utility whose main focus is cleaning your browsers from a variety of malware. Particularly relevant in Lately, when browsers get infected with various scripts very often.

Using the utility is quite simple: after launching it, you only need to press 1 button Scan. Next, it will automatically scan your system and remove everything malicious it finds (supports all the most popular browsers: Opera, Firefox, IE, Chrome, etc.).

Attention! After the scan, your computer will restart automatically, and then the utility will provide a report on the work done.

Spybot Search & Destroy

SpyBot - scan selection option

A good program for scanning your computer for viruses, rootkins, malware, and other malicious scripts. Allows you to clear your host file (even if it is blocked and hidden by a virus), protects your web browser when surfing the Internet.

The program is distributed in several versions: among them there is a free one. Supports Russian interface, works in Windows OS: Xp, 7, 8, 10.

HitmanPro

HitmanPro - Scan results (something to think about...)

A very effective utility for fighting rootkins, worms, viruses, spy scripts and other malicious programs. By the way, which is very important, it uses a cloud scanner with databases from: Dr.Web, Emsisoft, Ikarus, G Data.

Thanks to this, the utility checks your PC very quickly without slowing down your work. It is useful in addition to your antivirus; you can scan the system in parallel with the operation of the antivirus itself.

The utility allows you to work in Windows OS: XP, 7, 8, 10.

Glarysoft Malware Hunter

Malware Hunter - malware hunter

I have always liked the software from GlarySoft (I also recommended and still recommend software from them in this article about “cleaning” software from temporary files) :). Malware Hunter is no exception. The program will help you remove malware from your PC in a matter of moments, because... it uses a fast engine and database from Avira (probably everyone knows this famous antivirus). In addition, it has its own algorithms and tools to eliminate numerous threats.

Distinctive features of the program:

  • “hyper-mode” scanning makes using the utility pleasant and fast;
  • detects and removes malware and potential threats;
  • not just deletes infected files, but in many cases first tries to cure them (and, by the way, often successfully);
  • ensures the protection of personal private data.

A very good program for detecting: Adware, Spyware, Trojans, malware, worms and other goodies that your antivirus missed.

By the way, a distinctive feature from many other utilities of this kind is that when malware is detected, GridinSoft Anti-Malware will give you sound signal and will offer several options for a solution: for example, delete the file, or leave...

Several of its functions:

  • scanning and identifying unwanted advertising scripts that are embedded in browsers;
  • constant monitoring 24 hours a day, 7 days a week of your OS;
  • protection of your personal information: passwords, phone numbers, documents, etc.;
  • support for Russian-language interface;
  • support for Windows 7, 8, 10;
  • automatic update.

Spy Emergency

SpyEmergency: main program window.

Spy Emergency is a program for detecting and eliminating dozens of threats that await your Windows OS when working on the Internet.

The program can quickly and efficiently scan your computer for: viruses, Trojans, worms, keyboard loggers, scripts embedded in the browser, fraudulent software, etc.

  • huge (more than a million!) malware database;
  • has virtually no effect on the performance of your PC;
  • recovery host file(even if it was hidden or blocked by malware);
  • scanning system memory, hdd, system registry, browsers, etc.

SUPERAntiSpyware Free

With this program you can scan your HDD for the presence of a whole range of malware: spyware, malware, adware, dialers, trojans, worms, etc.

It’s worth saying that this software not only removes everything malicious, but also restores your damaged settings in the registry, in Internet browsers, the start page, etc. It’s quite good, I’ll tell you, when at least one virus script does something bad you'll figure it out...

PS

If you have anything to add (that I forgot or did not indicate in this article), thank you in advance for the tip or hint. I hope the software offered above will help you in difficult times.

Hello admin, I want to ask if you have ever used antivirus program Malwarebytes" Anti-Malware? Can it be used as the main antivirus on a computer? I noticed several strange things about her, for example:

1) She deleted from my computer one very necessary program that had been running for several years; in general, this program was paid, but I downloaded it on a torrent for free - maybe it was actually a virus?

2) For some reason, it finds some viruses only when scanning again.

3) And more questions, Malwarebytes" Anti-Malware blocks access to many sites, I don’t like it, I went into the Security Module settings and unchecked the Enable blocking of malicious sites option, but this does not help, there is still no access to many sites.

The program has a special module for fighting rootkits called Anti-Rootkit, but it is not clear how to launch it. There is also a Chameleon module, I can’t understand what it’s for, but many users use it somehow.

Antivirus program Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

Hello friends! A few years ago I had an interesting incident. One webmaster came to our company and literally with tears in his eyes complained that he could not get to his own website from his home computer, the provider and the router settings had nothing to do with it, we checked this immediately, the reason turned out to be different.

The webmaster was prevented from accessing his own website by the (then little-known) Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program installed on his computer. We found exactly which program settings blocked access to the site and still got to the site, but why did the program consider the site malicious ?

The webmaster downloaded all the site files to his computer and did not find any malicious code in the site files. Numerous Internet services for checking sites for viruses said that the site was clean. The well-known AI-Bolit scanner, designed to search for malicious codes on websites, also found nothing. We wrote a letter to https://www.malwarebytes.org/, in which we asked to explain the reason for blocking the site antivirus program Malwarebytes" Anti-Malware and they answered us.

"No problems were found on your site and the site will be excluded from our database of malicious sites very soon."

All that was left was to wait, and I had to wait a long time, exactly two years later, the webmaster called me (I didn’t even immediately understand what was going on) and told me the news that his site was no longer blocked by this program. This is how my first acquaintance with Malwarebytes" Anti-Malware happened.

If you read information about this program on the Internet, you will understand that this is almost the best anti-virus program in the world, it’s one of the set-and-forget programs, now your operating system is reliably protected from infection by almost any malicious program.

I assure you, friends, this is far from true, and this is being told to you by a person who often uses Malwarebytes" Anti-Malware to treat computers infected with viruses. There is some kind of inconsistency in this, right? It seems like I constantly use this program and at the same time hint to you that it has some disadvantages. Let's figure it out.

Further in the article: How to download and install the antivirus program Malwarebytes "Anti-Malware. All the pros and cons of Malwarebytes" Anti-Malware. How to properly configure the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program. How to scan and much more.

What I like about Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

1) Malwarebytes" Anti-Malware finds almost all existing malicious objects, be it Trojans, worms, rootkits, Spyware (spyware) and so on. The "Quick Scan" mode available in the program will find and neutralize all malicious programs in a relatively short time time interval.

2) Malwarebytes" Anti-Malware can be installed on a very infected computer, literally teeming with viruses, on which NOD32 and Kaspersky will not be able to install; also, launching anti-virus scanners Dr.Web CureIt or Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool will end in error, and Malwarebytes" Anti- Malware is a no-brainer; it installs easily, scans and removes viruses. Personally, I have always had problems with computers that are hopelessly infected with viruses, but recently, in exactly half of the cases I can get by with just the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program.

3) The program has a special Chameleon mode! If your computer is infected with numerous malware, then they have probably blocked you from downloading any antivirus, any other than Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. The special Chameleon module will help you download and install the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program, as well as clean your computer from viruses and all this in automatic mode!

4) On this moment, Malwarebytes" Anti-Malware is one of the best anti-virus scanners. It is constantly updated with new virus signature databases.

5) If you use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware only in scanner mode, the program works for free.

6) All detected threats are sent to quarantine; if necessary, any file can be restored from quarantine.

7) Malwarebytes Chameleon technology will allow you to run the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program when it is completely blocked by virus programs.

8) Malwarebytes Anti-Malware has an additional tool (its own development) Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit, designed to find and remove rootkits.

Disadvantages of the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program, but this is my personal opinion

1) When you install Malwarebytes "Anti-Malware on your computer, the program runs for 14 days free of charge and is fully functional, that is, in addition to the anti-virus scanner, it has real-time protection that can detect and neutralize malicious files when attempting to perform destructive actions. And this already a claim to a full-fledged antivirus program. After 14 days, we are faced with the choice of whether to buy the program or stay with one scanner.

2) I bought the program and decided to use it instead of an antivirus on one of my computers, as a result I came to the conclusion that “Malwarebytes” Anti-Malware is not suitable for a full-fledged antivirus, it lets through a lot of viruses. What’s most interesting is that the program allows “malware” to run its own malicious processes, but if you then run a scan, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware finds and neutralizes these same “malware”. In short, nonsense.

3) But even when scanning, the program does not find all viruses. Last week I found 22 viruses on users’ computers and placed them in the “Warning Viruses” folder; when scanning this folder with my standard antivirus, all 22 viruses were found,

And when scanning the same folder with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, 17 viruses were found.

4) Real-time protection. Let's run all these malicious files on a test machine. Of 22 two virus files Malwarebytes" Anti-Malware prevented only 10 from running, which means the remaining 12 are now running our operating system. In turn, the standard anti-virus installed on the system did not allow a single malicious process out of 22 to run.

5) Malwarebytes "Anti-Malware, immediately after installation, decides for you which sites you can access and which you cannot. And in this case, the algorithm of the program is not at all clear. I have a list of sites, when visiting which you will immediately be planted with a virus “(don’t go to grandma’s), so, according to the program, you can go to all these sites, but you can’t go to completely harmless ones. In other words, the program blocks access to many clean sites. According to my calculations, approximately every twentieth site existing on the Internet according to the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program, it is infected.

When you visit an allegedly infected Malwarebytes website, Anti-Malware will display a window like this and you will naturally not be able to access the site.

Or even worse, there will be no window and your browser will simply tell you that the desired site is not available (which is what happened to our webmaster).

You may notice - what if these sites are actually malicious? I will answer this way - you can check them on various services for checking sites for malware, for example https://www.virustotal.com/ru/ or http://antivirus-alarm.ru/ and you will see that this is not so.

It’s very good that Malwarebytes Anti-Malware has settings where you can disable this outrage. Security module. Disable blocking of malicious sites.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is an antivirus program for searching and neutralizing malware on the user's computer. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware has two versions: free and paid. For most users, the free version of this application is suitable.

This program belongs to the second-tier antivirus software. Basically, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware makes sense to use as an anti-virus scanner, especially for finding and removing various adware, spyware. It so happens that other antivirus programs, in most cases, do not identify such threats as dangerous for the computer.

Let's look at why so-called second-tier antivirus programs are needed, and how they differ from antiviruses that are installed on a computer as the main ones.

The main antivirus installed on your computer solves slightly different problems. Its main purpose is to protect the system, data and applications from the effects of malware. At the same time, the main antivirus pays less attention to advertising modules, hijackers (browser page hijackers), and other similar software.

Changes made by these applications may be unpleasant for the user, however, they do not pose a big threat to his computer. Antivirus protects against what is truly dangerous and poses a serious threat to your computer.

Therefore, programs such as Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) supplement, if necessary, the antivirus program installed on the user's computer as the main antivirus.

The paid version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware can be used in real-time to constantly check the data on your computer. The free version of the program can be used as an on-demand anti-virus scanner, launching it from time to time to scan your computer. Main features free version Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:
