Top 5 Anti-Malware programs for Windows

Introduction

Here we go, the top 5 anti-malware list. First of all, I want to tell you, what is Anti-Malware. Anti-malware – is a software, that protects you from malicious programs like viruses, trojans, adware, spyware and so on. You may say: “Oh, such as Kaspersky, Norton or McAfee”. No, those programs are classified as antivirus software, they are good, but against viruses, trojans, crypts. Here you can find out more about the best antiviruses. Anti-malware programs are more suitable for such types of threats as adware, browser hijacker, and spyware, which are popular nowadays. Those kinds of malware are not dangerous for your PC but harmful for your privacy and your purse. Moreover, adware and spyware can download viruses and trojans or leave them access to your PC. So anti-malware is more functional then antivirus.

OS: Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10 | For: 1 device | Distinctive Features: Custom Fix feature for specific threats removal.

The first one will be Wipersoft. This product has been created by Norton LLC in 2015.

Hitman Pro has been developed by SurfRight. HitmanPro is a good scanner, called a “Second Opinion” scanner. It has good database, but doesn’t have any protection. So threats can infect user’s PC, but will be killed by HitmanPro after next scan. Not so good, but not so bad, you can install any protection system with HitmanPro. It would be a nice combo. The price of HitmanPro is 24.95$.

Those programs are not cheap, but worth it!

  1. SpyHunter 4 is free unless you wish to utilize certain features such as the malware removal after the quick scan. I used the free trial to highlight threats on my computer, which I manually removed.

  2. I am always searching online for articles that can help me. There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in Features also. Keep working, great job
