MalWare Removal Forum

Hi Chris and Team at Malware Removal.
Thank you for such a great site!
I was curious if anyones heard of A-Squared anti Malware program by emsisoft?
Here are some links and blogs about A-Squared:

I tried the FREE version 1.6.5 of A-Squared (after getting a quick code with with emai) http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/ and scanned my system. Actually Pest-Patrol Free Scan found Adclicker (backdoor BHO) that constantly redirected by browser on both Firefox and IE. This was on a brand new Dell E510 system I just opened up. The trojan is aka "Win32.spywad.e' with more info about the preload by Dell here:

Nothing else I have on my system (spyware doctor, spy sweeper, etc, etc.) found it. What I liked about A-Squared is that the FREE version not only found it, it Removed it without a charge.

Ian Richard's blog about A-Squared and the new V.2.0 is being updated, but anyone can scan their entire system for FREE using the new V.2.0 beta online at:

Seem's like these folks at emsisoft have done a fabulous job and I hope everyone can benefit from their software to get rid of trojans, malware, etc.

God Bless You all and keep up the good work!
