legalize is right there. A good anti-virus still got some holes in it, especially if you don't watch what you do online.

use Malwarebytes : Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO removes malware including viruses, spyware, worms and trojans, plus it protects your computer weekly

A couple weeks back, my computer got infected by one of those fake spyware scanner viruses and Malwarebytes was the only thing that removed the virus even as Comodo and Spyware Doctor was saying there were no infections. Would consider purchasing their pro anti-malware version.

Free version works just fine. And those fake malware scanners are definitely annoying. When I see them pop-up, I'll just close it immediately.

I just had a problem with malware. It was opening advertisments, when I tried to enter other sites. I did a removal, but had to restore an earlier version of windows updates. So I still may have the problem somwhere.

What malware did you found? Did this problem still exist even though you removed it, which leads you to restore your computer on an earlier state?
