Hey, I need some help guys, I've really been stressed out tonight by a little bugger I found in my computer.
I did a Spybot scan just tonight. It said it picked up 20 cases of win32.pornpopup. I looked it up, and apparently it's really difficult to remove.
I heard in other reports that people would do another Spybot scan immediately after "removing" it, and if would find the virus again, obviously meaning it was never removed. However, I did a second Spybot scan and it said it found nothing. I am now doing a Malwarebytes scan. My Norton scanned earlier today, before the Spybot, and found nothing, so I'm not really trusting Norton at the moment.
Since Spybot has not found it again tonight, how worried should I be? Might it be back tomorrow? And any tips you might have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks alot!
