Recommended Software
We have been in the computer repair business since 1997.  As you might be able to guess, we have run across a lot of software that is really, really bad.  Fortunately, we've also run across some that is really, really good.  The following list is not exhaustive, but is the best of what we have found.  As we find other products, we will either add to the list or replace products in the list if they fall behind in quality.

Malware
What is malware? Malware is a term basically referencing all types of intentionally harmful software, such as.. Viruses, Spyware, Rogues, etc. 
Can I be completely safe from malware? Unfortunately, there is no "Silver Bullet" for any of these nuisances.  This is because the  vandal (after all, this is just high-tech vandalism and sometimes thievery) writes his new program (malware) and releases it into the public.  After a while, a few hours to a few days, the anti-malware companies discover  them and write code to stop the new malware, then they have to refine it to clean up the mess left by the malware.  Therefore, there is a dead period of time between the release and the time your pc receives the new Anti-Malware code to protect itself that the computer can get hit by the Malware. 

What are the best programs to help protect my computer from malware? Here are some of the programs that we have had the best luck with in protecting and cleaning different Malware.  If yours happens to be one of the first to get a new, powerful Malware, it can be several days before any Anti-Malware program can fix it.
