Hi,
I have followed the advice from forums such as this (thank you all for trying to help folks like me), including booting-up in Safe Mode and using Malwarebytes to get rid of the problem, but the Antivirus Suite pop-ups always keep coming back. Searches with tools such as Avast, Sophos, PC Doctor, Antispyware, Malwarebytes just don't seem to find all of the infections, even though I believe I am using fully updated versions of the tools.
What might I be doing wrong? Could it be that scanning while in Safe Mode is not as effective? Also, should the 'quick scan' option be sufficient to detect all infections, or should I always [also] run full scans, just to be sure? I have always been running the full scans, which have taken several hours(!), depending on the software.
Finally, the computer is now taking about 7-10 minutes to boot-up normally, vs. much less time previously. It seems to be starting/loading-up many more programs when booting. What's the best way to trim this?
Thanks very much in advance for any help you can provide!
