is bleeping computer a safe website to ask for virus removal?

Question

I was lurking to this section http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/f/22/virus-trojan-spyware-and-malware-removal-logs/ and they always ask you to install something but users there seem to solve their problem with no issues. I am worried that they might install another malicious program in one of their links.

I am trying to clean my computer but before i post there i just want to ask some approval from you guys.

Solution

I have used AdwCleaner from Bleeping Computer and it is a truly excellent piece of software, that has gotten rid of toolbar addons (such as the Babylon toolbar) that other software had failed to remove.

If that is testament to Bleeping Computer's software then you should have no worries.

Take any website like this with a grain of salt. Follow their advice if it makes sense.

Seconded; I can further give Bleeping Computer's ComboFix tool an excellent report, having successfully used it many times, in my former professional capacity as an IT support specialist, to get malware off machines so thoroughly pestiferated that nothing else would even install, much less actually work.

@AaronMiller AdwCleaner not only removed nasties from my PC, but did it blisteringly fast too. I'll checkout ComboFix :)
