how often do you run a computer scan?
do you have "malware bytes" program on your computer?
if not, what program do you prefer to use?

I use Vipre and before that I used Super Anti Spyware and that worked pretty well.

I use Kaspersky and I had an adware issue a couple of weeks ago and they were able to assist me in correcting it via their technical support so I would recommend them.

Malware bytes is the scanner I use. I run a scan at least once a month, sometimes twice.

I run a scan about once a month or more often if my computer seems to be acting up. I do use MalwareBytes and like it a lot. It is free and it catches a lot of things wrong with my computer that the Norton software I pay for every year doesn't.
