I posted yesterday, May 14. It was apparently deleted. I'll repeat.

Ok, so I download Malwarebytes because I'm infected with the "Win7 Antivirus" trojan. Ran the scan, had several malware files. Removed the files. Impressed, I paid the $25 for real time protection. Rebooted. Tried to go online, couldn't, Malwarebytes was blocking internet access due to a trojan.Uninstalled Malwarebytes, went to the support forum. Of course instantly I was again screwed by the Win7 trojan. Went through the step by step instructions, downloaded the files to scan my puter, attached them to my post, and waited two days for a response. Tonight, because I really couldn't wait, I downloaded Stopzilla, and ran the scan. Immediately found the Win7 trojan (which Malwarebytes couldn't do), and removed the trojan. Computer seems ok now.

Must say I wish I would've hung on to the $25 I paid for Malwarebytes.

Oh well.

Although this may sound like a slam, it's more of a comment. I was disappointed that Malwarebytes, which I installed because the I.T. department of my employer uses it, could not find and fix an apparently common and pervasive Trojan, while Stopzilla found and removed it immediately. I hope this is addressed by Malwarebytes so it can more effectively deal with this Trojan. I hope I can use both programs to even more effectively protect my computer. We'll see.
