Most anti-virus makers do not detect adware and spyware or other malware.
The reason is that many of them have sold out to the makers of adware and
some, in fact, even use those adware makers to advertise their own product.
These concerns of mine are why I haven't used McAfee for many years and no
longer use Norton/Symantec products as well. I suggest AVG or FPROT. There
are also a few other less commercial but very effective anti-virus apps as
well.
It is my opinion that McAfee, Norton, CA, etc. are not among those very
effective apps.

Thanks... I've downloaded the software from ewido and eliminated a number of.
malware files. I took a number of iterations - not sure why. Also, I did
have Norton AV up and running so I'm not sure why it didn't catch the files.

I am getting MANY dialog windows that open up randomly with the message

that is
sending out infomation from my computer? This all started with some adware
that I got called PurityScan (it came with other Trojan viruses) that was
caught by Windows Defender. Since then I have done a full scan with Windows
Defender and removed any virus's that it came up with (multiple times). I
also downloaded and unistalled PurityScan. Windows defender says that I am
clean but the messages keep coming.
