My Favorite Malware and Toolbar Cleaner

There have been a lot of different Malware and Toolbar Cleaners, but by far the one that I find the most effective as of late is AdwCleaner. This write up pretty much sums it up for for me, 

"Many antivirus programs and uninstaller programs can handle browser toolbars and other crapware, but sometimes, even they can't uninstall all the pieces. Heck, sometimes you aren't even sure what you're looking for. AdwCleaner is a portable program that finds every last bit of crapware on your system for you, with just one click."

From Lifehacker

I strongly suggest that you check out AdwCleaner, but remember that once it gets this easy to remove Malware and Toolbars, you may no longer think that they no no longer a issue.  Check out the download site here,

Important Internet Explorer issue

Heads up!   Unfortunately there is a pretty significant Internet Explorer security issue.  Using a security flaw exploit in Internet Explorer a hacker can gain remote access and control of your computer.  Due to the nature of the issue, anti-virus and anti-malware programs typically can not resolve the issue.  A download from Microsoft addresses the issue, here is the link, 

Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit v3.0

For more information on the issue here is a fairly concise article on the issue.
