    Clearly one of the best antispyware that I've tested. I'm regularly cleaning infected computers. Usually Kaspersky + Malwarebyte + Autoruns are doing the job. In some cases, I made use of other tools like sdfix, smitfraud (mainly)

    If I could give this 5 Star application 10 Stars, I would. It cleans Viruses and Trojans off computers that other applications will not, and does it easily and well.

    My wife clicked on a file from Facebook that claimed to update a viewer necessary to see a video. The result -- a virus that sent out emails to all her friends to see the video, loads of popup advertisements on her desktop, and a hijacked browser, that went to advertising sites rather than to the security sites requested.

    I checked "Startup" applications and removed two that should not have been there. I then used Spybot S & D to try and clean the computer. 4 files and registry items were cleared. The popups stopped, but the browser still was hijacked. I then downloaded and ran Malwarebytes Anti-Malware which found 25 files and registry items, and it cleaned them all. Everything was back the way it was before. The computer has now been running for a couple of weeks with no problems.

    Thank you, Malwarebytes.

    By the way, Malwarebytes is shareware, but the trial version will work at no cost. And if it does work, you may wish to say "Thank You' to the author by a purchase.

    it seems good app
    but i face a bad experience with mbam team

    i put testing tool for their application , but they delete it without reson
    they said its clean with all AVs , so i see there isn't any reason for delete it

    this is the link for the tool

    password: test

    ps: admins , please if you find this harmfull delete it now
    but in the same time , if you test it with know infection, don't do what mbam team did with me :)

    Excellent removal tool and far more useful and up-to-date than the forever behind-the-times Spybot Search and destroy. I use this to augment antivirus programs of various types and find that the defs it uses are generally far more current that Spybot's.

    FIVE stars for a relevant and above all current weapon in the arsenal.
