    I was wondering if i can get a list of programs that can all remove spyware, adware, hijackers, trojans etc.

    I am using the following:
    AntiVir 6 Personal Edition
    HiJackThis
    Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta1
    Javacool Soft's Spywareblaster
    Zone Labs firewall
    WinPatrol 8

    I need more programs because most of these are not clearing everything. and yes they are updated and such. i just need to know if theres more programs because i fix computers that have all this **** and one computer just keeps getting the **** after it's been deleted by Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta1

    pontiaclover--You have come to the right place. Here is the list of programs
    http://www.windowsbbs.com/showthread.php?t=31695
    The programs you already use should give substantial protection. Grisoft now offers version 7
    http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_index.php
    Are you updating the AV and SpywareBlaster regularly?
    I would also suggest the Security settings available on Internet Explorer, IESpyAds and perhaps a HOSTS file. And "safe surfing" is important.
    If you need further help

    P.S. What model and year?

    pontiaclover--Not clear. Are you asking about a specific malware problem? If so please post details.

    Hello pontiaclover,

    No such list in the sense that all malware will be removed by any one program. The nature of malware precludes that because it keeps changing.

    Regards - Charles
