Yes, I did a stupid thing and now I’m paying for it. I downloaded installation packages for Burn4Free and Magic DVD Cloner. One or both were infected with what appears to be a Trojan. The problem is that Windows Defender found it, and quarantined it, and I removed it, but it was either a botched job, or too much for either of us. Now, I’m still plagued with such persistent popup advertising on the browser (Mozilla Firefox) that it’s almost unusable.
I’ve found and weeded out a few bad entries on the hard disk and the registry, but am spending far too much valuable time at the project. I clearly need help.
So, what are the three antivirus/antimalware packages most often recommended by you folks?
Thanks in advance.

If it ain't broke, fiddle with it until it breaks, then fiddle with it until you get it fixed.
