We would like to introduce visitors to an exciting and valuable new resource available at CastleCops called the Malware Removal and Prevention procedure. This procedure is designed to enable users to either partially, or fully clean their systems without the direct aid of an expert. It provides instructions on how to perform a series of antispyware, antivirus and antitrojan scans, as well as, run a system cleaning utility. The generalized scanners we recommend are intended to address a broad spectrum of malware including adware, spyware, trojans, viruses, and browser hijackers. Soon it will become standard practice for all HijackThis (HJT) posters to perform malware removal before posting a HJT log. The ideas and suggestions of numerous staff members have contributed to the development of the final product. We even took a staff poll to decide on a name but such catchy monikers such as "Purging the Parasites" and "Zapping the Crap' were rejected in favor of the humdrum but more descript Malware Removal and Prevention (MRP).
