Hi,

No one program can be relied upon to detect and remove all malware. Added that often easy to

detect malware is often accompanied by a much harder to detect and remove payload. So its

better to be overly thorough now than to pay the high price later. Check with these to an extreme

overkill point and then run the cleanup only when you are very sure the system is clean.

My Security Shieldis a rogue antivirus, a scam to force you to pay for it while it has no benefits

at all.
