Did I mess up?

Hi

 

I have  nagging doubt that I have embeded a virus on my PC. Two days ago I noticed some downloads I had not asked for. One was from Spigot Browser extension, one adobe flash and the other was Malware Virus Protection. Both had the same date and time of download.

 

I decided to uninstall them and went to do this and although they were there in the uninstall section it said they were unavailable. However, i tried to uninstall the malware program anyway and during the process I got a text box asking if I agreed to let the program alter the HD. I agreed to this thinking it was part of the process and now the program has gone from my download files.

 

I did the same to Adobe Flash but left the Spigot one alone. I then decided to scan my system with my Bitdefender Internet Security 2016 which showed nothing. But I was still worried so bought Malwarebytes Malware Premium. The scan from this showed up the Spigot which I have deleted. 

 

My concern is the Adobe Flash and Malware Virus Protection programs, are they still there and have I made them unfindable even for Megabytes?

 

Any feedback appreciated.

 

Thanks

I'm not sure about "Megabytes", as I've never heard of that program.
 
However, some malware requires the use of multiple, different, specialized tools and scanners, not just Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM), for complete removal.
You may indeed have some malware remnants or damage therefrom on the system.
