*Hello,:confused::confused::confused:
I just bought this new HP laptop several months and now its infected
with malware Trojan. A full scan on Windows defender shows that trojan
is detected in some of the .dll files. I deleted 2 files on which it
said trojan was detected. But next time I scanned on Windows Defender,
some other .dll file showed up. Also scan on Bell Sympatico's Anti virus
service, it shows no virus or spywares.
My laptop is very slow than before, and also internet explorer browsers
keep opening and they take me to some random antivirus sites.

Please if you could tell me what to do in getting rid of this Trojan
and make my laptop run as normal. I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance. Hope to hear from you guys soon.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus, whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure of.
