Screw Norton, AVG, Ad-aware, and Avast. Just pick up Malwarebytes Pro (around $20) and he's good to go.

Malware Bytes is a freaking joke. Get that garbage out of here. I've been on enough suspicious sites to know that it is worth it's praise.

Same. It's definitely worth it!

I havent had any problems with it. Its low on resources. It isnt like a program like avast so i can still run avast even with it installed.

No, I'm not a guru (obviously, right?) but yes, I have wiped, reinstalled OS, and reinstalled drivers. Haven't partitioned my pc but have partitioned my sd card on my phone, familiar with the concept. But you are correct, I don't really want to do this on my new PC right away. Is Decrappifier a real thing? I thought people were kidding.

Didn't know about those, thanks. Does Winpatrol help me figure out which programs are essential on startup and which I can stop from launching on start?

So you say Malawarebytes is effective, or it is not effective?

Thanks. I've heard a lot of positive about m-bytes from here and elsewhere. I don't doubt setsuna though I wonder what 'questionable' sites he was on and if they in fact should have triggered the AV.

I dont think so. I left all of the intel and computer manufactures applications stay and got rid of all the Macromedia, Apple etc. It does tell you who makes the app.

And don't listen to Setsuna -- the paid version of Malwarebytes would be a fantastic purchase. You can couple it with something light-weight like Panda Cloud AV (free) if you'd like to be extra safe. I actually run this combo and have for over a year. I'd also do what Fish suggested and visit ninite.com on the new pc and go ahead and install what he listed -- makes it much easier than visiting each website independently. You have all the info you need
