Michael Horowitz on Removing Spyware

 
Here's a page I've just discovered
while doing research on removing
maleware in safe mode on
a Windows machine:

Removing Spyware

The above link references 3 articles
written by Michael Horowitz. Seems
that some of the best things in life
come in a series of 3. These articles
are no exception.

In article number 1, Michael Horowitz
goes over two things:

1. Removing malware from inside of
   Windows
2. Removing malware from outside of
   Windows

In article number 2, Michael Horowitz
assumes that you will be removing
malware from a bootable CD. In this
second article he discusses two choices:

1. Running the boot CD in the infected
   machine
2. Running the boot CD over a network

Note that however you run the boot CD,
you are running the CD outside the infected
machine in the sense that the infected hard
drive is a passive entity only.

In article number 3, Michael Horowitz describes
what is essentially a two-step process.

1. Run a series of anti-malware programs on
   the ultimate boot CD to clear your computer
   of the worst of the infections
2. Boot the newly disinfected machine and
   run a series of online scanners to further
   correct anomalies.

In a world of misdirection and wasted time,
Michael Horowitz gets right to the point.
He tells you how to remove malware from
your infected machine in the most effective
way possible.
