The BEST way to remove malware
May 19, 2009: Our webmaster, Michael Horowitz, has written an article for eSecurityPlanet called The
Best Way to Remove Viruses, Spyware and other Malware (Part 1). Many malicious programs do a great job of defending themselves,
so the best approach to removing them is not letting them run in the first place. This can be done by booting another operaing system
from a CD. See also How to Remove Malware
(part 2): Booting from a CD and The Best Way to
Remove Viruses and Malware, Part 3: The Clean-Up.
