    Oh Sorry I didn't understand. I have malwarebytes installed, so I thought it is supposed to not let anything in.

    I have just clicked it & it said it was 27 day's not up to date?

    I am running it now & so far it has found 11 things :eek:

    Just don't understand how they got passed the secrity

    If you copy and paste the results of the scan over on the Techie Board someone there will be able to tell you what to do next, they're brilliant!

    The free version of Malware Bytes doesn't do realtime protection. It just scans and removes for you afterwards.
    So your Avira must have let something nasty in first :(

    Also worth downloading Spybot as well, that normally finds lots of little problems the other two miss.

    You are better off doing full scans with all three programs in safe mode. (make sure they're fully updated first)

    More than liklely the results you got were only cookies .. i suggest you download superantispyware (they have a free version) that can sometimes find things that malwarebytes antimalware doesnt .. the only problem with the free version is you have to manually update it.

    It's still scanning! 1 hour & 22 mins.

    I know the Avira is up to date because it gives me a pop up every day saying it has updated it's self. In fact it has given me today's while scanning!

    I will see if Armor is up to date & scan with that next.

    Thank You For Helping Me, I'm pretty useless with computers

    Still saying it's found 11 things so far

    If you bank with Barclays you can get the full version of kaspersky for free. It's fantastic at keeping viruses and malware at bay.
    Even if I couldn't get it for free I'd buy it, it's fab.

    Hope you get it sorted x
