As for anti-virus software digging deep into the OS... we need that now to detect the crap that too roots itself deep into the OS.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the best way to remove malware is to never get it.

SAS is a phenomenal cleaner. I fix machine's on the side and that program has literally rescued machine's that I had planned on reformatting and installing a clean OS on. Plus the realtime protection in the pro version is transparent. I cant even tell its running. The best 19.95 i have ever spent. The AbLounge, Ultimate Chopper, and Don Lapre's real estate program do not touch it!!!

Currently, all resident AS requirements are being serviced by KIS7 (chose: AV or Firewall includes Antispyware).

I'm using SuperAntiSpyware Pro for on-demand scanning, and selected it.

I'm also using SpywareBlaster and the hpHOSTS file, and selected those.

Also, the only other security app I allow resident, with KIS7, is WinPatrol Plus. While not a "direct" AS app, I consider it's capabilities extremely beneficial for monitoring/alerting (and other features). So, I also selected "Other".

They were:

I had to use Housecall to remove them.
I'm currently tracking AVP(driveby),Z-lob(codec/driveby),DNS(codec/driveby),Storm,TIBS,Vundo(assorted types c/o keygens/drivebys) to name a few.

FWIW i will concede no one software gets them all,all of the time and the infections i track are really the tip of the iceberg although they keep me busy in new malwares and are amongst the most common seen in help forums ;)

There are several other popular free programs that I have used in the recent past, but I do not use them any more for a variety of reasons. E.g. Adaware stopped supporting their older SE version and I didn't trust them after the WhenU fiasco.

Unfortunately, I've found some not-so-cautious PC users who still manage to destroy their system, even with these two programs installed, using the most up-to-date definitions.

I found using the Hosts file was overkill, blocked too much (including legitimate videos on news sites) without a lot of work fiddling with it. ABP works just fine and is easy to control. I rarely use IE, so that isn't an issue for me.
