I gave it a try a while ago, but while it found a buch of trojans that everything else so far had missed it was unable to find the root virus that kept recreating those bads when ever they were deleted. It was spyware nukes that finally found the root and got rid of it.

MalwareBytes is a good program. I use it quite frequently along with HijackThis! when cleaning nasties from PCs. I find that SUPERAntiSpyware is also a great program as well to try. Upon removing programs, SUPERAntiSpyware can in fact terminate the processes of infected files if they're running, and will quarantine the file.

I use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware on every computer i'm asked to "fix" (non-profit)
Also somewhere (maybe these forums) i found "UnHackMe" which cleaned some rootkits, although user-interface has much to be desired, it did quite well.

Malwarebytes is the only virus detector and remover I use. I find it far better than those company antiviruses like Norton, who only scan for viruses that don't exist anymore, and who only make the programs to basically get money, not to truly help people rid their computers of unwanted software.Originally Posted by CoolFinalFan

I actually find that running MBAM in conjunction with Avast! Anti-virus and SUPERAntispyware to be a great combo. Of course if you know what you're doing, HijackThis! is a very handy tool as well.

It's roughly like that, but it isn't meant to be an Anti-virus program. It's more along the lines of an Anti-Spyware program. When it comes down to it though, anything, whether spyware, viruses, trojans, hijackers, etc are all considered Malware so pretty much you should get the point.
