Of course. That was a general comment, mind you. Most people placed checks on every line thinking it scanned and listed the infections and it resulted into ... well, a disaster. It is easier to say that one should not use it without a helper's consent. Or perhaps, I worded it wrong. 'Never' is quite the extreme. :p

The truth was spoken in that comment now lol. Unless people are willing to learn the whole log prefixes and meanings to understand what should be in the log and what shouldn't, they should go to a helper instead. If you have a virus that spreads throughout your computer, you're likely to cause more damage to the system the longer you wait. And instead of trying to learn it yourself while you need something fixed, going to a helper immediately would be the better alternative.

Again, as I said in the other thread. Thanks for the nice list. I got one question that has been bugging me, did you copy the text in the code tags or wrote it yourself?
RE: (Free) Anti-Malware programs - Bugsy - 04-04-2011
See if you actually take the time to look at the code tags you will see it says "Quote" on the the box, also if you actually visited the links you would have noticed I had taken a "snippit" from the original description... hence "quote"

I would also recommend Malwarebytes Antimalware. Anti-malware program with one of the fastest and most effective quick scan & malware removal capabilities.

Also, "Avast" is goodnto have because it removes some viruses before they infect you.
i confirm ! malwarebytes is the best, i use only this soft, and i like !
RE: (Free) Anti-Malware programs - Ignite. - 11-18-2011
Malwarebytes Anti Malware is highly recommended.
I use it all the time and run daily scans and it always picks up any malware on my system.
Nice list OP.
