well the problem was you were getting warnings you were infected
you did the scan and it found and removed stuff
You are no longer getting the warnings that it is infected.
Can you work out what the answer may be?
Sorry just my sarcastic head. There are a lot of spyware etc that install and tell you you are infected with a virus or trojan when you are not, mbam finds and removes these programs resulting it the fake infection software being removed so you no longer get the warnings. If you ever get any warning like that make sure you know where it is coming from. They install this type of spyware in the hope that you will click the link it gives you, and buy the software they recomend to remove the infection.0 -
