Well I tried. If some here don’t trust Malwarebytes then fine. Negativity rules it seems.

I trust Malwarebytes, and I thank you for the info, but the least happy worker at Facebook is the problem, and 11,000 of them just got fired.

C16 has asked me to remove his thread about Facebook due to the negativity he has experienced here. I have obliged, but have kept his link to the Malwarebytes facility as it is an excellent option - and been a little selective on his request, which I hope he does not mind.

Why would anyone be negative about providing information? Some people clearly need to get a life.

I am a Malwarebytes paid up user, but missed the advice pointed out by C16 in his post. Thank you for the link C16. Run and, hopefully, dusted.

I use Malwarebytes because it often catches stuff that Intel owned McAfee misses. I note that NatWest Bank were promoting the use of Malwarebytes as a recommended tool as well.

Talking of McAfee, I wonder how long Intel will continue to use the McAfee name, now that John McAfee has bitten the dust after an "interesting", if somewhat colourful, life?
My necessaries are embark'd: farewell. Adieu! I have too grieved a heart to take a tedious leave.
