Help with deleting infections

It might find some cookies but I'm pretty sure it won't find anything dangerous. I only use Spybot for the Immunize feature, nothing more. MalwareBytes and SUPERAntiSpyware are the best for scanning/removing malware.

It found a double click and right media which are both "1 entries in browsing". Looks clean! Thank you so much, but before this fix section is finished, can you explain immunize a little more. I read the report and don't completely understand it. Basically what does it actually do, and when should I implement it?

It works silently. Once you click the Immunize button it ads known malicious web sites to your Hosts file which protects your browser from malware. It works with Internet Explorer and Firefox.

See here Interesting Facts About Spybot's Immunize Feature. Thi sarticle is a little old but is still relevant. It now works with Firefox also.

Here are a few more suggestions.

Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.

• Click Start Now
  
• Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection.
  
• Click Start
  
• Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed.
• Update anything listed.

Here are some great FREE tools to help you keep from getting infected again. These tools use little or no resources so won't slow down your PC.

I suggest using WOT - Web of Trust. WOT is a free Internet security addon for your browser. It will keep you safe from online scams, identity theft, spyware, spam, viruses and unreliable shopping sites. WOT warns you before you interact with a risky website. It's easy and it's free.

SpywareBlaster - Secure your Internet Explorer to make it harder for ActiveX programs to run on your computer. Also stop certain cookies from being added to your computer when running Mozilla based browsers like Firefox.

Ok I'll have to check it out, thanks for everything  . Btw for the immunize feature should I keep it on at all times or what? And if I on;y go to safe websites anymore and don't torrent or download games, would I need any of this?

You never know when you might stumble on to a bad web site.

You don't turn on or off the Immunize feature. It just customizes your Hosts file. It doesn't run. Be sure to Immunize whenever you update Spybot.
