I was just attacked by some malicious software that resides in Firefox. I have included a screen shot from my MalwareBytes Software that popped up on my computer when the software tried to send information about my computer to a malicious software site!

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista if you don't already have one. Windows 8/10 have antivirus protection built-in.
