    Keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware on your computer but remember to update each time before scanning.

    Put it on yours as well.No one should be without it.

    Can I put this malware on my laptop[?]
    Conflicts are unlikely, but if you keep referring to it as 'malware' you're just going to confuse people. :D
  • Is it not called malware? Confused now, just need to know if what I downloaded on to her netbook to get rid of that message will be ok on my laptop to with its current anti virus and is it adviseable to have both on it, sorry dont really understand all the lingo lol

    Hi alliballi

    Malwarebytes is safe on your computer, you should have a combination of a anti-malware programme and a antivirus progamme on your computer.

    JUst remember not to run both at the same time ie. if your antivirus programme is scanning do not start Malwarebytes at the same time.

    With Malwarebytes just remember to update it every time before you use it.

    Install Malwarebytes, that is the name of the programme.

    Download it from here.......

    http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/

    Download the latest version, when downloaded open it and then update it.

    PS. Don't download Spyware Doctor which is on the same link page.
