    malwarebytes anti-malware is the 1 anti-spyware. it's update twice or more every day . so it will always found malware that another anti malware will miss.

    i recommend that you remove and quarantine ( malware ) . wait for 5 or 7 . if every thing is ok ,delete from quarantine.

    you can also post the scan log at malwarebytes anti-malware forum .

    I'm going to refer you to a site. You need to download it and save to your desktop. After on desktop open it and do as directed. This will totally clean out your system of any files infected. Mine erased over 227,000mb of space and about 37,000 infected files.

    well,download ccleaner then clean your junk file

    open Internet Explorer>tools>delete browsing history or (outdate version) internet options>delete temp etc

    install antivirus

    dont just rely on malwarebytes
