Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from one of these sites:

2. Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
3. If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.

5. When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
