I would recommend Emsisoft AntiMalware for an on demand scanner. And you don't have to put a link to extensions people will be able to find it and you don't have to put hxxp:// unless if the link directs toward a malicious site which in that case goes into the malware hub.

P.S. People are going to ask what your backup solution is also.

[Morro]

Good to know about the extension links.

As for EAM, i will take a look at it. Thanks for the tip Malware Maniac.

And now for a moment of "Taste the shame"...i only have a Windows 7 recovery disk. So far i never was much of a person who hat a backup. If something went horribly wrong then i either formatted the hard drive, or if i was uncertain then i brought my PC to the computer store.

But some people at work mentioned it might be a good idea to start thinking about a external hard drive.

Yes a good external sure helps out and has saved me plenty of times!

Have you got any backup solution?

Thank you Malware Maniac.

For a second on demand scanner i installed Emisoft Emergency Kit v2.0.0.8.

Emsisoft Emergency Kit and Emsisoft Antimalware are practically the same thing except Antimalware you have to install and it is not for already infected computers. Emergency Kit is directed toward infected computers but is portable.

[Morro]

Yeah i saw that, and i just placed it on a USB stick.

Nice configuration
CIS using Chiron's guide is very good protection, used this myself before.
