There are many free malware removal tools available on the market, but beware of "false positives", and this is what I mean...
You download free trial copy of malware removal software to perform a scan of your computer system, when you run the first scan it displays lists of spywares that it claims to be present on your system. The list includes viruses, spywares, adwares and so on, that are, in fact, not present on your computer, but are present in the malware software database itself. This is known as false positives and there are numerous malware software vendors that trick unsuspecting consumers in this way.
The aim is to create a panic so you can buy their product for protection. Don't be fooled, be careful before you install this type of malware protection. Do a bit of research online, or read reviews from previous users.
Malware detection and removal is a lucrative business for companies that create these removal software, so in an attempt to lure you into buying their products you get tricked into thinking that your computer is infected with ghost malwares.
Also, some free removal software can be very difficult to uninstall from your system once you install them. This can be another problem on its own in that whenever you start your computer, the software automatically begins its fake scanning, and if you are not good at software installation or removal it might be very difficult to get it removed from your system.
Not all free trial software are rogues, there are reliable free software online but you must know where to look and how to evaluate them. Conduct a thorough research online, a simple Google query on the product name might be helpful.
Beware of flashing banners on web pages that claim your computer has been scanned and is infected with malwares. This is another popular way unsuspecting consumers are tricked into downloading unreliable malware protection software onto their machine.
