Where are you seeing this comment? Is it in your web browser?

I would download, install, update and scan with MBAM, just in case...

MBAM produces a log file any time it detects malware. You can read the logs inside the user interface.

Hello John,

On the Malwarebytes forum someone has asked the same question! Unfortunately there is not an solution, but a recommendation.

Start by reading the answer and follow the link(s).

It's a real PITA when you get virus or malware and it can take a lot of work to get rid of it!
