i didnt go on any websites yesterday that i normally don't go on. i didnt even download anything yesterday, except the was a windows update which i think might have been it, i heard theres some fake windows updates. anyways i couldnt get malware byte to open, or avast.
i ended up doing a system restore to a save point about a week ago.
im on my laptop right now, and i checked my online bank and it seems like it hasnt been tampered with.
well my desktop is back up restored to a week ago. does this help? or will the virus still be there? my background is back to normal at least.
also is there anything better than malware byte/avast thats free? cause they didnt seem to catch the virus, nor were they able to do anything after the fact.
anyways long story short: i did a system restore to last week, am i safe for now?
