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 ...

Yes, the free versions of things work pretty well and are an attempt to get you to like that company's product so you will spring for their paid version. The paid version is not necessarily better though.
I used the free version of BitDefender and it was an OK AV, seemed to do the job. BitDefender had a sale on their paid version, $29 for 3 computers for 1 year. I thought that seemed like a good deal so purchased it and installed it on 3 computers. The full version of BitDefender is the most obnoxious piece of software I have ever used. It's intrusive, constantly bugs you to add additional services, blocks execution of software it doesn't like (but doesn't tell you it is blocking it). I've already removed the BitDefender "virus" from one of my computers and will probably remove it from the other 2 two as well.
I tried the free version of BitDefender and wound up uninstalling it. In addition to the above, when it won't let you install a program that it doesn't like, you are not given the option of overriding that decision. A major flaw IMHO.
