Getting rid of viruses is only step one

Being permanently protected from them is what it’s all about.
I, personally, have tried lots of different antivirus software programs and compiled a list of software I’d recommend best, but still there were only two that popped out and this time, it isn’t crappy AVG or Norton, the things that are known for making your system unstable as hell.
The first one is without a doubt Microantivirus:
I love MicroAntivirus because of its new structure of scanning, instead of rebuilding their list of files constantly, MicroAntivirus builds a database of files and their structure, to recognize viruses very, very quickly.
And then a good second, for when you have annoying pop-ups all over the place on your screen: AdwareBot
AdwareBot is a very powerful tool against spyware and dialers. It is particulary known for being faster than the more widely known tools such as Ad-Aware. If you’re not fully convinced, please note they offer a 30 day FREE trial!
