    CCcleaner is good but to slow.

    Cleanup runs very quickly, can easily be configured to run on startup, takes a second to load, and uses very little memory, which is quite important when a PC is running very slowly .

    also it only removes temporary internet and temporary files

    So it does LESS than ccleaner then

    Ill pass............

    OK if you've done all the scans and if they have found nothing you should also clean your registry with a program like: Eusings Free Registry Cleaner and another option is to defrag your registry with something like Eusings Free Registry Defrag.

    Once thats done defragment you hard drive with a program like: MyDefrag.

    Depending how bad they are it might take a while to do these but the longer it takes the more it needed it, generally.

    EDIT: posted while I was writing. Now do the spyware scans with updated SAS and MBAM!! bet you have more on there.
  • Im glad I changed to avira as avg didnt find them they are
    SPR/tool.Pskill.1011
    HTML/ADODB.Exploit.Gen
    TR/Spy.Banker.vk.1
    DR/Tool.Pskill.1101.45
  • ok just running the eusings regisrty cleaner now

    Did you run SAS and MBAM??

    Defragmenting the hard drive/registry and cleaning the registry are only worth it after all the infections are gone.
  • ok doing it now

    Defrag a registry?! You wouldn't catch me doing that one little bit. "Clean" the registry?! I'd do no more than run CCleaner... Up to the OP though...

    Well its up to you obviously but I've fixed systems that the registry size can be cut in half because of how fragmented it was. Like de-fragmenting your HD it improves speed (depending on how fragmented depends of the speed gain), and doesn't delete anything. Eusing are very good and backups facilities are provided. I've used all the software I've recommended many times without issue.
