SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition

 
Here's another malware removal
tool I've recently become aware
of:

SUPERAntiSpyware

This tool installs on your system
as a .exe file. You download
the file and run the .exe.

In the case, the .exe fill is called
SUPERAntiSpyware.exe, appropriately
enough.

Here's where I found out about this
program:

How to Remove Malware From Your Computer

I ran SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition
and it found approximately 32 adware
cookies. This was more than I expected as
I keep a very clean machine.

I'm trying to help someone clean up their
machine. They have an adware redirection
problem. At least, that's what I call
it.

Basically, if they try to run malware removal
software, they get redirected away from the
malware scanner site to a site that runs
an ad instead. This makes it very hard to
clean their machine.

I'm beginning to believe that the solution
is to send them a bootable CD-ROM with
.exe files that remove malware. If this
bootable CD-ROM were to run in safe mode,
it might do the trick.
