BDC's Antivirus and Anti-Malware Tools

The simplest answer is that there are three main programs that we use to insure that your machine is clean and ready to return to you.

The first that we use before anything else is Norton Antivirus. This top-rated program, which is trusted even by the Pentagon, removes at least 99% of all viruses and spyware. However, there is always the chance that some minor infection is still lurking around, so we don't stop there.

The next program that we use is MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware (commonly called MBAM for short). This frequently will find a little remnant or two that were passed over by Norton Antivirus (most commonly because they are inactive and, thus, not "dangerous"). MBAM gets rid of those bugs, though, so that there is no trace of them on your machine.

Finally, the third utility we use is Super Anti-Spyware. This goes out and checks for a multitude of infections for which both of the others scan and a few others that they don't (usually because the strains are older and not common anymore). Rarely do we get any hits with Super Anti-Spyware after the other two scanners have run but it is just added insurance that your machine is clean.

If you want to keep your machine as clean as possible, we will be glad to sell you any or all of these programs, install them for you at no additional charge (if in the Douglas County (Kansas) area), and give you basic instruction about how to use each program.
