Windows Update
I just want to point out there is a Windows Update with a nice malicious software removal. I was getting random stuff like Firefox dropping default broswer and Steam logging me off.

Very happy about it and i want to tell the world.

Carry on.

It's an update they do every single month.
The tool is called MRT.EXE

Or simply press Winkey and type MRT and you'll see it. It's always been a part of WinOS since early XP days

Useless junk because it's always way behind anyways.

You need something with zero day protection
