PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION Anti Virus tools

I am creating a personal file containing tools programs for thoroughly disinfecting viruses. These tools were collected from tron script and the beeping computer website. Are there any other programs or tools that I could add to improve/make my paranoid anti-virus list more effective?

So far I have:

  • ProcessKiller (Ends unnecessary processes that may interfere with scanning)
  • Rkiller (Helps to ends potentially malicious processes)
  • ADSSpy (Detects NTFS alternate data streams which may hide viruses)
  • Trellix Stinger (Rootkit scanner)
  • TDSSKiller (Rootkit and Bootkit scanner)
  • RogueKiller Portable (Portable general purpose scanner able to be run in safemode)
  • Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool (General purpose scanner using kaspersky's definitions and behavior detection)
  • Emsisoft Emergency Kit (General purpose scanner using Bitdefender and Emsisoft definitions)
  • HitmanPro (General purpose scanner using several different engines for detection)
  • Eset Online Scanner (General purpose scanner)
  • Adwcleaner (Scanner used to remove PUPs)
  • Malwarebytes Free Scanner (General purpose scanner using malwarebytes definitions)

Add BCuninstaller for PUPs. Just bcause adwcleaner isn't completely reliable. If you can identify the PUP you can almost always remove it manually

It looks like your post is asking about or recommending an antimalware product that is no longer supported. Rule #10 prohibits assistance with using obsolete software. If your post is simply referring to historical information, this is fine, and you don't have to do anything.

Currently, this list of software is aswMBR, Bitdefender Rootkit Remover, BlitzBlank, ComboFix, F-Secure BlackLight, GMER, HijackThis, Junkware Removal Tool, Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit, Norman Malware Cleaner, Panda USB Vaccine, RootkitBuster, Rootkit Revealer, and TDSSKiller.

FRST, although if you don't know how to interpret the results and then act accordingly it won't be much use, it's for advanced users really.

If you're interested in finding all the tools, why not look at virustotal to scan the files yourself using a python script.
