    but the anti-malware worked well. ad-aware is no good on this one; i had tried that first. anti-malware takes a while to scan, but it got rid of the virus. thanks.

    Thank you. This was the only program that removed the nasty virus. Ad-ware didn’t work, neither did the Microsoft version of malware. Thanks!

    Excellent!
    It worked like a dream. I’ve managed to clean up my machine when I’ve been caught out mostly without outside help, but this one had me stumped

    Thanx for everything.

    You saved me! Thanks for removing this ugly preditor from my computer. Malwarebytes is the best! My Norton security found it but couldn’t remove it. I was about to pay a local computer geek over $100, then found Malwarebytes and it was free! Thanks again

    Thanks so much for your product. I tried many things to get rid of this pest. Norton 360 was no help whatsoever, and they wanted another 100 bucks just to dial in to my computer and clean it up.

    everything works fine until the end of the scan, when I get the windows notice that an error has occurred and I must restart my system. I then lose the scan results. any suggestions?
