Malware,Adware and browser problems fixed by "Spybot search and destroy" Free anti-malware software.

I have an old Windows XP machine that I have not used for a couple of years since getting Windows 7 and I noticed that once the copy of Norton Antivirus had expired on it, suddenly it seem to have lots of problems with Firefox crashing out. It was as though Norton had subdued some Malware that had been sitting and waiting to attack. Despite running Malwarebytes anti-malware and clearing problems it would always come back.
It affected all internet browsers Firfox, IE8, Safari and Opera. What ever was there was making them crash out as soon as you searched for anything.

Then I tried something called Spybot S&D, this is FREE software and it found problems and fixed them completely. The old XP machine now works perfectly !

If you would like this software then get it from their site :
www.safer-networking.org/en/home
Click on the Download link on the left menu, then the download link to download, then click the second "Download here" button on right "BN Fileforum - fast worldwide distribution" Then the link in the blue panel on right "Download Spybot S&D".
Install the software, update it and then click "Check for problems". This will find any problems that you may not be aware of and fix them for good.

hope this helps someone.
