[QUOTE="brambedkar59, post: 859643, member: 61084"] Personally I prefer Emsisoft Emergency Kit, Hitman pro and Norton Power Eraser (if you can handle false positives. Also it's not worth using more than two 2nd opinion scanners). If you find any serious threat (eg. Trojan, Virus, etc and not the adware), and it's your system (so you can clean install from scratch) I would say it's better to just nuke the system and clean install. Even after removing a malware you don't get the same level of confidence that your system is 100% clean. A decade ago I spent almost a week cleaning a WinXp system with help of malware removal experts at Malwarebytes forum. In the end after helping me clean the system he told me it's better to clean install the Windows cause no one can guarantee that any infected system is 100% clean even after following a detailed procedure for removing the malware. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
