Cleaning my system of malware

1) I ran my antivirus software, which is entitled AVG Antivirus. 169439 objects were scanned and no threats were found.



2) I ran my anti-spyware/adware program, which is AntiSpywareBot (www.antispywarebot.com). After scanning the hard drive, the program found 2,141 infected files. I’m a little leery to believe this though because I’m not sure how trustworthy this program is. I downloaded it off the Internet through a link in the course book, but I’ve never heard of it before.
