It had been running a bit slow
11 years ago
So I get a call from my uncle saying he has a little problem with his computer, apparently when my aunt tries to play her online bingo game suddenly porn images will flash on the screen (my aunt is obviously very freaked out about this, in fact I can hear her shout “it happened again” in the back ground as I talk to my uncle).
So I tell my uncle it may be some malware or other crap they accidentally downloaded but I know a little program that can help.
I go over there and install Malawarebytes on their PC and let it scan for any infections.
After a looooooooong scan it returns the results and my face nearly goes into a “Tex Avery” like expression as I see them.
Over 1200 infections....
It took Malawarebytes over half an hour to get them all removed.
I ask them “what have you been doing to this poor machine, didn't you notice anything wrong with it?”.
“Well it had been running a bit slow” they tell me.

Running Malwarebytes and Cleanup and other good stuff like that is important too.
