Hi,
Thanks a lot for this help it work very well.
I am using window 7 32 bit with avast antivirus home edition and a window defender is also a kind of default window prog to prevent the infection. In spite of this I get infected. My question is
Q1; should I need to change my antivirus program?
Q2: Do I continue with an antivirus prog, this malware removal and a window defender prog. Having 3 anti infected prog effect my pc speed or not.
Pls respond
Gurjit,
no 100% shield in the world. You can use your AV, or read a lot of reviews in the Internet and install another AV. Most important, need have an one. If you want a free AV, try also AVG.
I think you can uninstall Windows defender and use free Spy bot and Malwarebytes or purchase a full version of Malwarebytes (it includes the autoprotection module).
