I guess I'm my family's, and my boss's, tech kid, so I want to be prepared, especially after I was /way/ in over my head. My Dad's laptop got a virus that knew what I was trying to do, and every time I removed viruses, it would hide itself, and add new ones.
Normally, most of them are fine, and I rarely have to go in, but there are two pop-ups they always click on and NEVER should: A pop-up that claims they need to update their program everyone uses, like java or flash, and of course, my sister will click on almost anything. I think she's getting better, but still, every time she gets on my parent's computers, they get viruses.
I have handy: Malawarebytes, rkill, and fixncr.reg.
Any programs of any types, not just freeware or virus removal, would be good to hear about.
