Another Anti-Malware Program Added to my Arsenal

Being in this business of trying to repair computers and clean up software problems, I have a growing collection of apps and utilities I use to accomplish the task. AVG 8 and Super Anti-Spyware are the main two I use, combined they’ll get rid of almost everything, but this week I ran into something new on my own computer. Well, on my flash drive actually, a hidden directory showed up named “resycled” and it had a file inside called boot.com. It messed with my computer a little but I caught it in time before it could cause much trouble. The best cleaner I’ve found for it so far is Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, it took a good 2 hours to do a complete scan but after a reboot those files were history.
