What's everyone using to remove mal ware?
I downloaded malware bytes but they only give you a 'trial' program that expires after a week or two. Does anyone know of any other free malware removal programs that do a good job? I have Kapersky ...

I had a bout with SweetPacks and, for some reason, Malwarebytes didn't remove it. I finally ran Spyhunter in safe mode to get rid of it. It wouldn't do it in standard run mode.
likely because MalwareBytes either didn't "see" SweetPacks because your signature file hadn't been updated, the updated signature file didn't have the signature or 'fingerprint' of SweetPacks or, if it had been detected, the MalwareBytes engine is not engineered to remove that particular nasty. not every A/V, A/S and A/M software package will see all of the current crop of nasties.
this is why a layered approach works best. while running more than one A/V program may cause performace programs the same is generally not true for A/S and A/M software. couple that with a decent software AND hardware firewall and good internet habits and you'd have a decent defense.
