When the scan is done and no infections were found. You will get a window like the one below. I just did a video of how to install and run malwarebytes just before this and I didn't find any infections. Though I was hoping I did to take you through the steps on how get rid of the threats found :( But I use the same methods of keeping my PC in top form as I am showing you on my website. I rarely get infected with any threats.
If Malwarebytes does find threats. You will get a window like the one below. To see what threats were found, click "Show Results".
The below windows will show what threats were found.
After clicking "Show Results", you will see the following window with a list of all malware objects found. You can see the names of the malware, category (i.e. file, memory process, registry key, etc.), and the location on your system. Notice that for the moment that "No action taken" is listed for everything. This allows you the opportunity to check for any false positives that might have occurred. Once you have looked over the list and verified the items that you want taken care of, click "Remove Selected" to remove the malware from your system.
Run the free version of malwarebytes once a week of anytime you feel your computer may be infected.
It is not necessary to run this everyday with the method I will be teaching you for getting rid of all threats and preventing future threats with all free programs.
The avira anti-virus program once you install it will be running real time protection.
As a 3rd line of defense I will be showing you how to setup A (HIPS) Intrusion prevention system which is a network security device that monitors network and/or system activities for malicious or unwanted behavior and can react, in real-time, to block or prevent those activities.
This Intrusion prevention system will be doing the bulk of the protection, while malwarebytes and avira will be there just in case anything slips by. With this setup, 90 % isn't going to get by to infect your computer again. The best part of all this is .... it all free. There is no FREE software out to date that will protect or remove threats 100%. This setup is the best defence I found that actually works.
