In the ever-escalating arms race between malware authors and defenders of civilized computer users, the advantage shifts from one side to the other constantly. You may have the top-rated security and disinfection suite, but one day some clever new species of malware will defeat it. Here&#8217;s what to do when that happens to you, a friend, or family member&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reinforcing Your Security Defenses<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your first line of defense fails, you need to call in allies. An infection that one anti-malware program cannot erase (or even detect, sometimes) may be dealt with effectively by another Internet security tool. Even if it doesn&#8217;t happen to your computer, you may be the person that friends and family call upon when their computer gets fouled up by a virus, spyware, rootkit, or botnet. It&#8217;s good to have several alternatives to your main anti-malware program on hand, up to date, and ready to come to the rescue.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, nobody wants to pay tens or hundreds of dollars per year for subscriptions to multiple programs they rarely use. Fortunately, there are capable free options. Previously, I&#8217;ve recommended Five Free Anti-Virus Programs, which I recommend for every-day always-on protection. In this article, you&#8217;ll find five free anti-malware tools that I recommend for your \u201clast resort\u201d toolbox. Use them when you suspect something may have snuck in, or when helping others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free Malware Fighters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But before I get into these useful tools, a word of warning: be careful of any free software that is not distributed by its developer but only through \u201ctrusted partner sites\u201d such as C|net\u2019s Download.com, Tucows.com, and other freeware supermarkets. Invariably, such packages are loaded with what I call \u201cfoistware,\u201d deceptive installation routines that trick the unwary into installing things they don\u2019t want or giving up personal information they should not. You can get a clean copy of the free program you want, without strings attached, but you must read every installation screen carefully and click only when you are certain of what clicking does.<\/p>\n<p>Foistware is getting downright Faustian in its perfidy. I saw one last week in which the \u201cDecline\u201d button indicated you were declining to decline the toolbar that was offered. Yes, \u201cdecline\u201d meant \u201caccept.\u201d See my related article DOWNLOAD ALERT: Foistware Warning, and pay particular heed to the section titled CNET\/Download.com: A Six-Part Horror Story.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re welcome, foistware developers and distributors.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/askbobrankin.com\/five_free_malware_removal_tools.html?pcp\">5 Free Malware Removal Tools &#8211; Article Continued Here<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Excerpt shared with permission from Bob Rankin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/free-malware-fighters-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"free-malware-fighters\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-46228\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bob suggests you arm yourself with these malware removal tools in your fight against malware mafia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":66012,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[56,4094],"class_list":["post-46222","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bob-rankin","tag-malware","tag-security-software"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
