What is the best software to clean up the infected disk?

Question

My computer is slow and it seems there are some worms.

Answer 1

hmmm worms. well you probably should be running a virus scanner and a firewall to begin with. otherwise look on http://www.download.com for :

spybot

download, install and run. this should help.

Answer 2

If you have any anti-virus, anti-spyware and any other anti-malware programs UPDATE and USE them. If not, or they aren't doing the job:

Go to http://www.download.com and find and save to your desktop as zip-files these programs:

Avast! Anti-Virus by Alwil

Spybot Search & Destroy ....NOT "spybot"!!!

Ad-Aware se Personal by Lavasoft

TweakNow RegistryCleaner STD

They are all free.

Disconnect from the net. In Safe Mode, install them, reconnect to the net, UPDATE them and RUN them. However, if you already have an anti-virus prog you will have to unistall it before installing the Avast. Can't run two AV at the same time.

I have used this combo for several years now on different OSes and computers with GREAT results!!!

And remember, all the anti-malware progs in the world won't do you one bit of good if they're not updated constantly and used regularly. I update and use mine every evening just before I shut my puter off.

Also, to help speed up a slow puter you can go to Start>Run>type in msconfig, click OK>Startup Tab and UNcheck everything in there except your anti-virus and other anti-malware progs. You can still use the items unchecked but they won't be running in the background eating up your puter's resources slowing it to a snail's pace. Just get to those progs in the All Programs menu that comes up when you click Start.

GOOD LUCK!
