  1. Hi there! I hope I am posting in the right forum--I'm not sure if this is Malware related or not. For about a week, my computer was seriously infected. I finally found Malwarebytes, dowloaded the free version, watched in amazement as it fixed my computer, and purchased the full version. Everything seems to be running great since my Malwarebytes scan, but I'm wary because I know that there might still be problems lurking. When Malwarebytes scanned my computer, it found a problem in my Microsoft firewall. The log detail is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\FirewallDisableNotify (Disabled.SecurityCenter) -> Bad: (1) Good: (0) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully. I've never used the Microsoft firewall--I have McAfee and have always used its firewall and left the Microsoft Firewall disabled. The thing is, now I can't seem to turn off the Microsoft Firewall. When I go to control panel, and click on Security Center, it shows that Windows Firewall is on. When I click on the icon for Manage security settings: Windows Firewall, it shows that the Windows Firewall is: Off [not recommended]. So, it's off, but it's also on. I'm not sure what is happening here, and I was hoping that someone in this forum might be able to help. Many thanks!
  2. Hi there! About a week ago, my computer got infected with something really nasty. Endless pop-up ads, google redirects, and I think it even took over my task manager for a time. My McAfee AV software was next to useless. I got on the internet looking for solutions, and ran across the name Malwarebytes over and over again. I tried to download the program, but kept getting a fail when I ran the setup for the program. I eventually made my way to this forum and found out that the infection was deleting the exe file. I found a post with a link for a Malwarebytes download with a random filename generator--brilliant. I was eventually able to download the free version and run a scan and get rid of a whole bunch of Trojans. My computer has been running error free all day, and tonight I purchased the full version of Malwarebytes. Worth so much more than I paid for it. But the best part has to be this forum. I read through all kinds of posts trying to figure out what was going on with my machine and am just so impressed with the "experts" who are giving their advice and time here. I know that this is a place that I can come for tremendous, personal, and _successful_ advice. Thanks to the folks behind Malwarebytes, and to all the experts on this forum!
