Scanning tools & methods?

[Yezinki]

Generally what are the near best possible steps to scan a windows machine for viruses/malware, that isn’t showing any sign/symptoms of being infected just for a clean bill of machine’s health & how should one proceed?

Thanks.

Are you looking for online scanners or on-demand scanners within your machine?

[Yezinki]

Thanks. Both...Avast & MBAM I have......what else should I use for scanning......Trend Micro House Call etc.?

[Lisandro]

I suggest a full computer on-line scanning:
BitDefender
ESET NOD32
F-Secure

For detection-only, not cleaning:
Kaspersky
Trendmicro housecall

Here a very comprehensive information about the on-line scanners (thanks to Polonus):

Tech F-Secure on line scanning detected a tracking cookie.......win32admt......how does one block such while using G Chrome browser?

[Yezinki]

Bit Defender Quick scan results no infection found. I am doing all 3 scan simultaneously one after the other. No clues how these cookie get into G Chrome never had these issues with IE?

[Yezinki]

ESET NOD32 scan is clean too. Is there an option to block such tracking cookies in G Chrome? Would this help........  https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom?hl=en-US?

This add block is a good Chrome extension.

Tech how do I uninstall FSecure & ESET NOD32 Files & folders, some of which are seen only as invisible C>..?

Tracking cookies area a waste of processing effort to even check. Not to mention it is one which can be largely removed by having your browser block 3rd party cookies.

Don't worry about reported tracking cookies they are a minor issue and not one of security, allow it to deal with them though. - See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie.

Thanks DavidR. How do I delete them?
