I'm sure this has been answered many times but I am going to ask anyway. Is the above ok to use by itself or should I d.l. another av program. I would rather not add another one but want to make sure I'm protected. I also have Malwarebytes trial version on board. I'm hoping those 2 will take...

When I tied to run this with 1803 t said the probable cause was an a/v interfering.
I only have MBAM so I disabled it by right clicking and selecting "quit".
When I ran system restore again the same thing happened.
Can Windows be working against itself so I should disable ransomware etc.?

Hi
Both my wife and I are getting bogus emails from people we know that we know they aren't sending intentionally.
What these messages have in common is the code goo.gl/
I kind of understand that this is a signal to shorten the visible address.
The messages have no subject, have a message...
I answered a question on Quora about what are the first programs you install on a new computer.

Hi
Today Windows Defender came up with Malware for the first time ever!
It found "Trojan:Win32/peals.flcl" When I looked at the location it said it was in a file called Desktop Lara that's been on my computer for years.

I then ran Malwarebytes and...
I do not like the win7 defragger - It is very slow. I found a 3rd party program called "Auslogics Disk Defragger". I like it as it seems to do the job and is quick about it. Malwarebytes sees it as Malware and has quarantined it. Does anyone have any info about this software? Thanks.

I'm running the free version of MBAM (was paid version trial originally) and getting a pop-up every time I start my computer trying to get me to return to the paid version. Is there any way to stop this annoying pop-up from showing up every time I start my PC? Thanks.
