Hi Nia,
After reading some of your posts, I'm a little worried that you may not have sufficient or up to date real-time protection on your computer, or quite possibly too much.
You've previously mentioned expired Norton software and AVG Antivirus etc.
What security software do you currently have on your computer and which of it is actively running?

Get rid of Norton and run either Avast or AVG. I have been using Avast for a very long time , it auto updates sometimes three times a day. When I used AVG , I had problems with it updating. I also run SpywareBlaster and Spybot S&D.

The Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Protection Module uses advanced heuristic scanning technology to monitor your system and provide real-time protection to prevent the installation of most new malware. This technology monitors every process and stops malicious processes before they can infect your computer. The database that defines those heuristics is updated as often as there is something to add to it. Enabling the Protection Module feature requires reqistration and purchase of a license key. When a license is purchased, Malwarebytes can also be set to update itself automatically and schedule scans automatically on a daily basis.
Note: MBAM does not act as a real-time protection scanner for every file like an anti-virus program so it is intended to be a supplement, not a substitute.

Will Avast and MalwareBytes go nicely together?

Yes they work and play well together. I see you already got the link.OH and MalwareBytes only gives you real time protection with the paid version.
