My neighbour has given me her son's (aged 16+) laptop to cleanup which is infested with viruses and spyware, mainly pornographic in nature. He currently has AVG free but she has asked for me to purchase and install something better. I've searched the forum for posts but they go back over a year ago and things have changed.
What would you recommend. My instinct would be Kaspersky but I haven't used it for over a year. Is it still good or are there better options.
Any advice about the best way of removing viruses, etc. I was thinking of removing hard drive and plugging it in a USB adaptor on another machine, run scans (Kaspersky & MalwareBytes and then re-insert in laptop and install latest software and scan again. I would also run Spybot, HiJack-This!, CCleaner. Good idea or are there better ways now?
