Top 5 Free Tools To Remove a Virus From Your Computer

Sometimes computers get viruses, it happens. For most people this is a time to panic, but there is no need to panic any longer because in this post I will go through the top 5 free tools you can use to clean up your virus infected PC.

1. Malwarebytes – This is the number one free scanner in my opinion and a great tool for removing malware from your computer. It will clean up almost any infection you have and is even available for Windows and Mac operating systems.

2. AdwCleaner – Are you getting unwanted internet pop-ups? Then this is the tool for you! This scanner is the best free tool I have seen for removing adware and is a valuable part of any virus removal toolkit.

3. Combofix – The reason Combofix is not number one or two on this list is because it is not compatible with Windows 8.1 or 10. This is a really great tool and can fix almost any infection you have, but you must be careful when using it because if used incorrectly it could damage your PC.

4. CCleaner – While it is not exactly a virus removal tool, CCleaner is a great tool and it felt wrong leaving it off the list. If you want to remove the extra unneeded junk from your computer and clean it up, CCleaner is a great option.

5. TDSSKiller – This scanner is not as useful now as it once was but is still a great tool for removing both known and unknown rootkits from your machine.
