Hi,

Just wanted to do a Trojan check on my laptop, as it keeps switching off randomly.
I heard that Asquared is good. Any other opinions?

[evilfantasy]

a-squared is good but can also be a little confusing.

For a second opinion I will usually run a good online virus/malware scanner.

Or we can do some scans here and I will look over the logs to see if anything looks out of place.

If you already have Malwarebytes be sure to update it before running the scan!

Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM)

Alternate MBAM download link

• Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  
• At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to the following:
  • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    
  • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  
  
• Then click Finish.
  
• If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  
• Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  
• Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  
• When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
  
• The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
  
• Copy and Paste the entire report in your next reply.

Extra Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts, click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process, if asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.
