Yes and it has worked very well for me. In fact I had a couple of nasty hijack viruses and it was the only tool I tried that removed them. I would highly reccomend.

Has anyone used MalwareBytes Anti Malware. If so what do you think of it, does it work? Is it worthy to add to the list?

Anyone who happens to come across this looking for useful tools might want to look into gbridge, easily the most efficient and easy to use remote program I have ever tried. This tool is amazing.

Well.. I tried another one called Avira AntiVir, downloaded it after reading somewhere (sorry lost the link) on the web that its the best.

About gOS, does it have hardware drivers installed is the question. Many times I get stuck saying no network support, no display drivers so only VGA etc.. all due to drivers !

You should probably give Faronics Deep Freeze a look. It freezes a hard drive partition into a “baseline” configuration that the computer will reset to after every reboot, effectively making it impervious to even the most willful end-user stupidity.

I put Deep Freeze on my parents’ computer, and after explaining how it worked and that they should save their work on an external drive, we haven’t had computer problems since.

@Deroc: I haven’t tried Spyware Doctor so can’t comment on it, but still yet I’m guessing it should be good since it comes with the Google Pack
@g00ber: I’ll update the list with logmein.com as well.
