AVG is the BEST! I've done a lot of research and the free version of AVG is 10 times bettern than the most expensive Mcaffee!
BUT, a program like this won't be picked up by a virus program, as it isn't a virus. You need a "spyware" type program for one like this.
Malwarebytes is an excellent free program. Do a search and you'll find it to download for free. Everyone should have some type of this kind of program.
I've got 2 in the last 6 months. The first thing you need to do is CTRL + ALT + DEL and open up "Start Task Manager" and look in processed and find the program and click end process. That turns it off, so you can then find it and delete it. If you dont' do this, it will keep you from deleting it!
They are getting better and better with these type things. The last wouldn't even let me open some websites that might could delete it! Smart!
Now that I run the Malwarebytes program regularly, I've not had any. It constantly finds them, though.
If I were you, I'd go get AVG and Malwarebytes. Those two should give you complete protection.
