ok great, though it does drain battery a bit too much. But anyways thanks!

ok, what about real time protection, should I enable it for Malwarebytes even though it's on for the antivirus program already? Thanks

I downloaded the app from google play store on smartphone as well as on my tablet...

ok, great though I meant for my smartphone/tablet, so I install an antivirus apart from Malwarebytes?

Hi, Should I install an antivirus like Avast, or mcafee apart from MAB? Thanks, Karl

all right, done, thank you!

yep, sounds quite fine now... browser doesn't automatically launch on pc startup anymore! Many thanks!

here it is... thx mablog.txt

Hi, For AdwCleaner I unchecked 'free youtube downloader' because I downloaded it, it should be safe (https://youtubedownloader.com/). The problems all started after downloading one game file from one of those 'file hosting' sites like 1fichier.com jheberg.net/ or clicknupload.link. I be more careful especially since there wasn't any checkboxes to untick to stop other toolbars, etc from installing... Thanks Fixlog.txt AdwCleaner[C0].txt

Hi, After a malware antibytes scan it found a couple hundred files, only few listed as malware others as unwanted programs. I checked the few malware and many are files of genuine programs, I know this because there's the game name in the file name/location (games I downloaded as torrents; I know these are 100% safe) so I don't want to remove these - problem is there are some which don't indicate whether they're a game I know to be safe or something else. The bigger problem is the 'potential unwanted programs' there are hundreds of these I am not sure I will check one by one - some are located in firefox and chrome... E.g. : Trojan.ProxyHijacker, HKLM\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\Earn.to.Die.2.v1.0.4.DynamicNS, , (this is genuine file - 'earn to die' game). Trojan.ProxyHijacker, HKLM\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\WOW6432NODE\CLSID\{C379EAD1-CB34-4B09-AF6B-7E587F8BCD80}, , [d7408ee2a6f492a4036c3f577092e020], (this I have no idea, if I delete it could be of a genuine program). Also when starting my pc now Chrome launches and some aliexpress website launches. log1.text is scan log file. Any idea what to do? Thank You! p.s. Windows defender find 0 threats.
