Malware/virus removal

I have to make a house call soon and figured I'd ask for any programs users use to remove coupon viruses. I usually do it manually because automatic seems to take hours and all of the files are in %user%\app data , system 32 and \programdata folders. but I would appreciate any suggestions to make the process faster.

Check for some options in your anti-virus, if it wont remove the viruses for you, it will have to be done manually -  there's a free utility called Unlocker that could allow you to delete viruses or other files that aren't allowed to be removed from the hard drive.

I personally use Malwarebytes, the Eset online virus scan then avast

spybot

@md5 Realize that I have done this many times before and I don't need unblocker This is to save time when working on clientele. NO to anarekist even though I love you spybot is for spyware not this. I find malwarebytes to be non effective as last time I used it it came up with roughly 3000 false positives and it never found the real malware I injected, Haven't used Eset and will try on a non production machine.

i give all my customers ESET and make a super strict profile that scans every week
