In my previous post on How to fix res//ieframe.dll/dnserror.htm I used Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to fix the problem but you can also use that to clean other Spyware and Malware using the same tool. The common spyware and malware lurking from the internet to day those fake anti-spywares such as MS Anti-Spyware 2009 which is similar to XP Antivirus 2008.

To fix Adware, Malware, Spyware problem I usually do these simple steps:

1. Check your startup items
   • Start > Run > type in: msconfig
   • for Vista, click the windows orb button > in Start Search > type in: msconfig
   • go to Startup Tab then uncheck any suspicous items. If your not sure what is try googling it first.

   

   • another way to disable or delete startup items is by using CCleaner. this is one of my favorite tool for cleaning up junks from your computer.
   • you can choose to delete or disable startup items.

   

2. Download and Install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
   • After installing, perform a full scan
   • Selected all detected items and delete it.
   • Restart your computer

   

3. Download and Run the Free Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool
   • Do a full system scan, don’t forget to check your local drives to be scanned.

   

   • Restart your computer after cleaning is done.
4. If the above step did not fix adware, malware, spyware on your computer but you know what adware, malware, spyware infected your computer try googling again.
5. If adware, malware, spyware are detected but cannot be clean or remove, try this: Clean Virus Without Booting in Windows

6. If anything has failed. Backup your files and reformat your computer.

I saved many computers using the method above. I hope your computer will also be save.
