Google "malwarebytes" and download the free version of their software. It will scan for nasties and prevent you accidentally downloading any

Bloomin' brilliant piece of kit !

Check Malwarebytes is compatible with your AV though, it certainly is not compatible with Bitdefender Internet Security.:idea:

Does not work for this type of virus.

There is also a new virus that will also uninstall all anti virus products currenlty on the market.

I have spent many hours uninstalling these and you have to have bootable discs and quite a few other tools.
