Windows Defender

‎05-03-2012 04:43 PM

I was told Windows Defender is not required, however I keep getting warnings from other programs that I have malware and other non essential software on my computer that could be harmful.

Look like the computer is infected. What i would suggest is you can download and run a free software called combo fix. you can download it from the below link:

 

http://combofix.en.softonic.com/download

 

and once the infection is removed, you can install a free software from microsoft called microsoft essentials

Do let me know how this goes....
