What is a good (recommended) anti-malware for me to download?

Now, if you would stay off those sites you wouldn't have that problem.  :D :D

I use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware which is a free program, or at least it was when I downloaded it.

from here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/

I also use SuperAntispyware free edition, from http://www.superantispyware.com/

Each of these programs have "paid" versions. I have looked at them to see if the paid version is worth it or not.
I haven't had any reason to do that.
Superanitspyware seems to find most everything that need to be deleted.

I did too.  $25 is cheap insurance.  I have a friend that just had to pay $200 to have his PC fixed.   :-\

Malwarebytes and CCleaner are what I used when running/fixing Windows.  The latter is not malware specific but does a good job fixing up all sorts of other issues.
