Hi All,

I help fix computers in my spare time, call it a hobby. To help fix someones computer that is infected I can often run several different tools to remove adware/spyware/malware whichever term you like ware.

Im thinking to help myself I might go down the route of making my own adware remover that looks for it all (where some are missed).

Only issue is I dont really know where to start. Im thinking along this line at the moment:

-create restore point just in case
-search all current running processes for known infection names, stop them running
-search all services for known infection services and disable/remove them
-get database of common infection locations, folder/registry etc
-search for these locations and delete upon finding them


Is this along the right path?
