| Free WebScan - Wednesday, June 16, 2010With 70,000 new malware and viruses each week (Spring of 2010) it would be in your best interested to run an Online Scanner now & then - just to double-check and make sure the computer hasn't picked up any viruses... especially if you have one of those "free" anti-virus programs on the computer... and especially if you visit Facebook, MySpace, MyLife and other such websites. An Online Scanner does not need to be installed, just downloaded and run.
Here are the good Online Scanners:
- SuperAntiSpyware.Com Online Scanner |
| Conflicker Worm Test - Saturday, April 04, 2009The conflicker worm is supposed to prevent you from visiting certain websites, so here is a list of the websites. If you see all the images, then your computer is not infected by the Conflicker worm. Here's the link.
If the six graphics do not appear, then here is a link to disinfect the computer. |

Anti-Malware Resources |

|
NOTE:
1. The 1USA team presents this list of anti-malware resources as a service to our customers - even though few need it -- because 1USA customers (who read the 1USA Newsletters) rarely if ever need these resources..
2. We encourage people with persistent malware to first contact their current antivirus vendor.
3. This is a work in progress and is updated periodically.
4. We have tried to list only free and current resources.
5. We do not endorse or assume any responsibility for the sites and their information.
6. There are good malware removal tools available, but we also believe the only sure way to disinfect a computer that caught a Rootkit type of infection is to "reformat and reinstall."
7. Please contact us to suggest additions/corrections to this list.
