Solve : Malware Removal Assistance?

Answer»

OK what window freezes now?The same window, which is my folder for these anti-malware programs I have been installing.So just right clicking the folder makes the COMPUTER freeze? Even in Safe Mode?I decided to move the rest of the contents to the desktop and delete the entire folder with just the shortcut inside, which worked.Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.

I suggest using WOT - Web of Trust. WOT is a free Internet security addon for your browser. It will keep you safe from online scams, identity theft, spyware, spam, viruses and unreliable shopping sites. WOT warns you before you interact with a risky website. It's easy and it's free.

SpywareBlaster - Secure your Internet Explorer to MAKE it harder for ActiveX programs to run on your computer. ALSO stop certain cookies from being added to your computer when running Mozilla based browsers like Firefox.
* Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware

Also see Slow Computer? It May Not Be Malware for free cleaning/maintenance tools to help keep your computer running smooth.Software and OS updated. Plus WoT and SWB are up and running. I bookmarked the ARTICLES and will read them when I have the time. Judging by the post, I'm guessing that's it?As long as everything is running OK then yes.Just one last thing. I still have the following programs and folders on my computer:

Malwarebytes' Anti-malware
SUPERAntiSpyware
CCleaner
Hijack This & sniper.exe
OTMoveIt3
regsearch

Are any of them unneeded anymore and safe to delete? Plus, do I still need to use them regularly or anything else?Quote
Malwarebytes' Anti-malware
SUPERAntiSpyware

Keep these. Update and scan with them now and then to be sure nothing nasty has crept in.

CCleaner

Use this at least once a week to keep your drive clutter free. I usually run it daily.

Delete those.I guess thats it. Thanks for so much for the assistance. Pretty cheesy LINE, but not much else I can say.Your welcome.
