    May I ask, the scans your talking about is it for free off http://www.malwarebytes.org/ ? I have ESET already so is it worth me d/l the other one to try.

    I have the toolbar on IE as chrome is my main browser and it slowed it down but will certainly be uninstalling it.

    Yes, that's the malware scanner I use, the free version of it. It occasionally tells me my computer is unprotected as I don't have the paid version which upgrades automatically, but I ignore that and upgrade it manually (very easy) before each scan.

    I also use ccleaner to clear cookies and to scan my registry for changes, at least once a week.

    Yes it is the free version. It is worth downloading that one anyway. The free version just allows you to manually do scans so won't interfere with anything else you have.
    I have found Malwarebytes is really good it picks things up that my other paid program doesn't pick up so I just do a scan with Malwarebytes every few days to double check my computer is clean.

  • I didn't realize there were issues with the SB toolbar. But I only enable it for that 1 SB and then disable it again because it seriously slows down my browser.

    Thanks for the heads up BP1. I regularly scan but will do it more often just in case. I believe someone ages back found the toolbar was loaded with spyware. Can't remember who though and may be in a previous thread.
    I did have problems with the toolbar as I downloaded something else with it which I did not realize at the time. I now have removed the toolbar also to be safe.
