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.
If offered to remove it so I did.
I then ran Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware as well.
Both came up clean.
I also removed the program which I almost never turn on anyway.
I've had this program on my computers since the 90s.
I noticed starting last night that my computer was taking a long time to shut down.
Normally it shuts down almost immediately.
I looked in Task Manager and didn't find anything running before I shut down except Malwarebytes.
When I searched for Trojan:Win32/peals.flcl online I found all kinds of offers for software that would remove it, I never do that unless it's from Microsoft.
Anyway this is the first positive hit that Windows Defender has ever had on my computer in at least 6 years.
