MalwareBytes > all (so far). It's removed pretty much any nasty malware my family can throw at it. haha But I do use the Microsoft Security Essentials and it's pretty decent.

Whoah, cool link. Thanks for posting it up. I'm with ^^^ though. Malwarebyte's Antimalware has saved myself and several of my friends many a times. Stoooopid spyware. I wonder how this holds up to it. If it were an addition to security essentials I would be all over it but would prefer to not run yet another app in the background. I only rip out malwarebytes when the issue arises.

I'm a malwarebytes fan as well. I also found i think Mcaffee i can't remember made a remote antivirus. Like one you can put on a USB key and not have to actually put it on a computer so you can just run it on someones F*d PC without the virus preventing you from installing it. I'll try adn find the name of it again.

Combofix will still be better. But glad to see MS is taking this seriously.
