Hi, can someone recommend a good free anti malware spyware program please. I have succesfully talked a friend through removing a nasty malware attack - Antivirus live inc which played havoc with their computer. Have also run a full scan with Malwarebytes and removed infected files. I now need to get them to install some software to prevent this happening again. I am currently using Spyware Terminator which has worked for me but I believe Spybot is also good but I'm not sure which is best.
Any advice would be appreciated.
