Anti Virus software

I don't know. If it's free, something not right.

Fernando, I wouldn't have made the recommendation had I've not used it before.

It's made by malwarebytes. If you have not used the free Malwarebytes and not scanned your computers..... well no wonder it's infected.

Malwarebytes is great. Paying for a multi-license and installing it on all of my relatives Windows machines has completely stopped the "my computer doesn't work" calls that I used to get. In fact, I get automated emails whenever it finds and disinfects something

Wrote up a post covering antivirus software options if anyone is interested.

Today while few postings in AF, I got this McAfee pop up that says I'm in an unsafe site and there's a button to scan.
I got rid of it and then I'm kicked out of AF.
What's happening?
