Best Anti-Malware (rootkit,trojans,keyloggers, worms) on-demand alternatives to MBAM?

MBAM, SAS, EAM, and HMP should suffice for most malware I guess. Rootkit and other tougher ones may need more specialized tools.

Probably the Best Free Security List in the World

 

nice

 

i cannot believe someone actually agreed with brummelchen and close the op's other thread:

https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=280678

it was indeed a very helpful information, at least for me, in that it finally confirms my suspicion that malwarebyte wasn't able to do it's job if the system is not active.

i previously would try to clean a system by scanning the infected hdd in another clean pc with malwarebyte as it is most recommended by many av help sites. then i found that it wasn't effective and "concluded" that malwarebyte has been grossly over-praised and started using superantispyware instead after that.

and now i know why that was and thanks to the op for that piece of infos.

 

/ot
maybe it was only copy&paste of a single message out of a thread.
you need to read all - not only that one to get the point.
do you grab all dead fish someone throw?
maybe it was the matter that wilders dont deal with pe-roms,
a bit too offtopic. at least moderator can explain it to you, pls ask him first!

 

Thanks, I have requested it to be reopened.

It was not my intention to bash MBAM AT ALL; rather the info was a revelation that certain AM software may be designed to work in a live system; and I wanted to share that.

 

On a posibly infected computer, do you run all tools?

There are a lot of recommendations for tdsskiller.
Does the tool:
http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/avptool2010?level=2
subsume tdsskiller?
There are a bunch of other specific malware removel tools by Kaspersky:
http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/utility are all of them subsumed by the virus removal exe?

Is the virus removal exe subsumed by the Kaspersky live CD?
Or is the virus removal exe better as it is running on a live system?

Anyone use the tool GMER?

 

GMER all the time

 

Too right, had Windows update error 80072efe, TDSS Killer cured it within a minute,after 2 days of fruitless button pressing and scanning with Malwarebytes and VIPRE rescue.
Highly recommended.
Kudos Kaspersky
Shame on you ESET NOD32.

 

ComboFix i used and always saved my bacon

 

But CF is not an easy going tool to deal with. One has to be careful because this kind of gunned tool always implies a serious risk of screwing your pc even more than it was before beginning.

When I run what I call a CF's "test run", I always prepare for the possible worst happening. Not only having some up-to-date and verified sys backup, but also running virtualized (thanks goes to FD-ISR Classie), taking notes of it's findings and, but only by then, run CF and keep monitoring all the changes (sys and registry as well) CF is to be implosing on my PC.

I was burned once, you see, and I hope for not anymore...

EDIT...darned englished grammaticalities...(note to me: i should make better use of my wordweb pro license!)...

 

agree as i heard alot of people complaining about it but i took the risk anyway in like 5 ocasions and i guez i was lucky but combofix fixed the 5 computers

 

Did you try other easy to use tools in those 5 instances?

 

Mbam is very useful but whenever I faced real tough situations fixing client pc I always found Dr. web cureit by my side. and actively taking part in kicking ..

 

Is cureit weaker than, stronger than, same as or incomparable to their live CD?

 

Isn't this thread turning into an 'A vs B'-thread?

 

Not really ... No two different companies have been compared; I have only asked whether two products from the same company subsume each other...

 

yes i did i tried mbam,superantispyware and hitman pro and combofix was the only one who fixed this 5 pcs

 

IME cureit is actually stronger than live cd. but its just IME..

 

Why is nobody mentioning Sandboxie?

It's not really a removal tool or anything but if you sandbox your browser you're keeping most malware away from your harddisk.

So unless you download and run "malware" yourself, it can't come in through websites anymore.

 

Er, this thread is about on demand malware scanners

 

maybe sandboxie has a malware scaner

 

I knew that before posting, still prevention is better than cleaning the mess afterwards.

 

What do you think about Kaspersky Removal Tool (the big one), and if I use it, does it cover all single ones utilities from Kaspersky?
One more question regarding Hitman Pro, I have installed it and using it for some time already, as a free version, I have 4 more days left. What will happen after 4 days?

 

It's because the original poster was looking for a suite of applications to remove viruses from already infected machines. Sandboxie is awesome, but if it's already infected, it won't help until it's cleaned.

Even though the OP posted this a year ago, I'd like to mention AVERT. It makes virus cleaning a cinch and uses several scanners; up to 7.
