Norman Malware Cleaner

Norman Malware Cleaner is a program developed by Norman that specializes in identifying and eliminating specific types of malicious software, also known as malware. It is important to note that this software should not be used as a primary antivirus protection, but rather as a reactive tool when dealing with infected systems.

With Norman Malware Cleaner, users can effortlessly clean up their system and remove any infections present. The software achieves this by killing off running processes that have been infected, removing ActiveX components and browser helper objects from the disk, identifying and removing rootkits, restoring registry values to their correct settings, and removing references created by malware in host files. Furthermore, it can take care of removing any malicious programs from the firewall rules for Windows, thereby reducing the risk of the system becoming infected again in the future.

To ensure that Norman Malware Cleaner functions optimally, it is recommended that users should initiate it in the Safe mode. This can be done by tapping the F8 key on the keyboard during startup, before Windows initializes and selecting Safe mode from the menu that displays. Users may have to repeat the process of pressing the F8 key quickly or several times if the initial attempt is unsuccessful. For older computers that have difficulties with the F8 method, one may configure their device to start in Safe mode using the System Configuration Utility (msconfig).

Overall, Norman Malware Cleaner stands out as an efficient and effective solution to remove malware from infected systems, thereby restoring their functionality and security.
