MiniToolbox is completely safe and reliable. It's often used by experts on malware removal forums.

Hi everyone,

Recently, I've been getting questions about my recent update (particularly the part about removing SuperAntiSpyware). I would like share the reasons why I removed SAS.

I removed SuperAntiSpyware for the following main reasons:

1. SuperAntiSpyware has the lowest malware detection rates compared to Malwarebytes and HitmanPro.
2. The fact that HitmanPro uses 4 antivirus engines to detect malware.
3. Malwarebytes and HitmanPro provide adequate malware removal when used together.

SuperAntiSpyware is still an excellent product, and I will definitely keep an eye on it.

Very beautiful and useful. Also you should not forget mention "hosts file" which malwares modify to mask itself as another ip/url. Here is the original if you need it.

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
