good FREE Virus/malware etc removal tool?

[Robert Fischer]

title says it all


McAfee and it's built in subscription popups and false alarms are pissing me off. ("badoom" xylophone sounds had 3 Mcafee popups from them and subscriptions/warnings since making this thread!!)
got an adblocker (yes i'll unblock PA) to stop the false alarm from ads, but I can't remember what programs will quickly scan computer and remove trojans etc..

had a scam popup thing for mcaFEE

fixed by 'resetting' the browser settings. Was actually cool. Saved my passwords, I just had to re-enter them once.

in the process found a program BCUNINSTALLER ? works pretty well and allows a medium level knowledge of computers to apply some personal choices.

uninstalled mcaFEE anyway.

got the malwarebytes program 14day trial, scans 'clean' each time.

got Revo, but redundant to the seemingly better bcuninstaller program.

if you're running Windows, their built-in antivirus is probably all you need. It's pretty good.

Malwarebytes might be a good addition...I run that once in a blue moon.

But mostly, I just rely on Windows Security (or Defender, as it used to be called) to get the job done.
