Removing Malware
0
I need some help in removing specific malware from another computer. This program called otshot didn't go away after a full scan of the computer with malwarebytes. The only two other solutions that I've found through google were "Free Malware, Virus, Worm, Trojan removal Boot CD" which I have no experience with and the following code which looks legit but I don't know if something that simple will be effective.
If anyone has more insight into either of these solutions or something else, it would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried running Malware Bytes in Safe Mode? (if that PC is running Windows)
Also, if you are trying to remove a rootkit try this:
TDSSKiller
And if that don't work, i suggest ComboFix but be aware, it's a really powerful
tool that can mess up your PC.

Go with Kaspersky, all the antivirus I used before it didn't find the virus which killed my system.
2 Years with Kaspersky and hadn't had a single problem, though, it seems to be a cpu hog

Go with KasperskyIf it was my computer I would, but it's a computer at my aunt's house which is used by two young kids who know little to nothing about viruses and other such problems. I know it would be a good idea for them to get a good antivirus program, but I'm not sure their parents would like the idea of spending even more money on the computer. Because of this, I installed Microsoft Security Essentials last time I was there and it didn't detect the malware.

But that's just the thing, not everyone is a technical internet buccaneer.
I've got like three set up on mine. One I paid for and the others are the free ones. You definitely get away more from the paid ones. Viper has been relentless in its search of viruses and not one has touched my computer since.
