someone answered my malware question a couple of days ago and suggested various anti-malware downloads. I used 3 of them and cleaned things up but today my laptop, tho much better, is still infected. At the end of the person's message was a suggestion to download something else....now I can't find his message again. Was it Microsoft something? anyway, my computer is much better, but not out of the woods.

I can't answer your question, but I think that you should know this:

Having more than one installed anti-virus, anti-malware, and firewall installed makes your computer vulnerable for viruses. This is because the programs will conflict with each other and let threats through.

You should only have:

  • 1 Anti-virus program
  • 1 Anti-malware program
  • 1 Firewall program
