About every time I run Windows Defender on Windows 8, I have around 60 threats. I don't know why. I keep checking them and remove them, but then I get more. i wonder if I have something on my program that just keeps spitting out viruses. I am sending a few screenshots to see if you can tell anything from them. Thanks. 📎malware1.PNG 📎malware2.PNG 📎malware3.PNG
Download AdWareCleaner http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/
or from here http://general-changelog-team.fr/fr/downlo…de/2-adwcleaner
to your desktop

1.Right-click on adwcleaner.exe and select Run As Administrator to launch the application.
2.Click on Delete button.
3.Confirm each time with OK.
4.Your computer will be rebooted automatically. A text file will open after the restart. Please post the content of that logfile in your reply.

Note: You can find the logfile at C:\AdwCleaner[Sn].txt as well - n is the order number.

Next, download TFC by Old Timer http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/TFC-Temp-Fi…er-file187.html and save it to your desktop.

Save any unsaved work. TFC will close ALL open programs including your browser!
Double-click on TFC.exe to run it. If you are using Vista/Windows 7 right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator.
Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process and let it run uninterrupted to completion.
Important! If TFC prompts you to reboot, please do so immediately. If not prompted, manually reboot the machine anyway to ensure a complete clean.


Run Malwarebytes' again.

Good job! …. now download TFC by Old Timer http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/TFC-Temp-Fi…er-file187.html and save it to your desktop.

Save any unsaved work. TFC will close ALL open programs including your browser!
Double-click on TFC.exe to run it. If you are using Vista/Windows 7 right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator.
Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process and let it run uninterrupted to completion.
Important! If TFC prompts you to reboot, please do so immediately. If not prompted, manually reboot the machine anyway to ensure a complete clean.

Let me know when you've rebooted.
OK, I've run the TFC. I will run Windows Defender again. I will run it again tmr because it doesn't stay malware free. I will keep you posted. Thanks.
Malwarebytes was clean this time. How can I keep my computer clean of malware and viruses/ I use Windows Defender, Malwarebytes, cCleaner. Don't know what else to do. What did the info in post #4 give you?

Your post #4 showed up a lot of adware… things you definitely don't want.

Read how to disable browser add on extentions, and follow the instructions for each of these browsers—> IE, Firefox and Chrome:

I think that is all I have in the way of cleaning my computer. Also, how do i get rid of the TFC now off my computer. It is on my desktop but don't see it under programs to uninstall. I am getting an error when I turn on my computer and didn't get a screen shot of it. It was something like it could not find a dll file? I will send a screenshot when it happens again
I will scan my computer right after this. Windows Defender is windows 8 version of MSE, but I guess it is not real good for antivirus. Any other one I can download since the two are so similar. Should I run TFC on a regular basis like I do the others?
