I had been having a network connection problem with one of the 27 PCs at work that I am responsible for.

Totally by accident, I found out the problem was being caused by a virus.
The W32.Spybot.Worm appeared on one of my thumb drives. I cleaned the thumb drive off
but two days later it was back on the thumb drive.
That was when I was sure where it was coming from.

Our network administrator recommended I use Malewarebytes to attempt to remove the virus.

It found and cleaned it on the very first scan!
It's a free download but when you install it refuse the option for their "Trial Program".

I also ran it on all three of my home computers.
It found other, different, low risk bugs on two of them that Norton had missed and they are both running much faster
than before.

Great Free Software!!!

+1!

with regular scans you almost don't need any anti-virus.
