Computer Cleaner
Work from home? More people do these days due to COVID. It’s important to keep your work tool clean.
1- RKill: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/rkill/ RKill is step one and just goes through and gets rid of anything preliminary before you run your rootkit killer. 2- TDSS Killer: http://support.kaspersky.com/downloads/utils/tdsskiller.exe This quickly scans and gets rid of any rootkits. 3- CCleaner: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard Clean up your files and registry, look for anything odd in the startup items. 4- Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyWare, & Spybot Search & Destroy Install all three, then update and run scans with each of them. Spybot has a "Passive Protection" feature that I recommend applying as well. 5- Microsoft Security Essentials This would be for your day to day protection, but it is a good idea to run 1-4 once a month and just keep a good eye on your computer. I run a scan of all this monthly and it has kept my computer healthy in my going on 4+ years of working from home. Let me know how this helps your computer!
