Free Anti Malware Tool

Published by Crystal on November 10th, 2012 - in Commercial Security, Computer Security, Protect Your Identity, Self Defense Products

 

 

If your computer is running slow you may have downloaded Malware somewhere along the lines. For Windows 7, Microsoft Windows Vista, and Microsoft Windows XP you can download for FREE, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free. <click here<

I scanned my computer, and from normal every day web browsing, there were TONS of Malware loaded on it. This program removed them! The PC is now running smoothly.

 

From PC World:  “Whether you know it or not your computer is always at risk of becoming infected with viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits, dialers, spyware, and malware that are constantly evolving and becoming harder to detect and remove. Only the most sophisticated anti-malware techniques can detect and remove these malicious programs from your computer. Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware is considered to be the next step in the detection and removal of malware.”

 

Any links within our posts that are blue are clickable hot links that take you to the referenced material. When you go to download the Anti Malware, don’t click on the “sponsored link” that is just an ad. Click below it, where it says “TRY IT FREE” right below their sponsored ad.
