Good advice - especially second link.

Personally I think everyone should already have - or get - and install Malwarebytes - would cut down the time needed to utilise it. Same with Superantispyware and Spybot.

I know there is almost an endless array of security/cleaning programmes, but these 3 are probably the best imho to have at hand when things go south.

For routine maintenance CCleaner, Advanced Disk Cleaner, Glary Free Utilities with Registry Defrag & Registry Booster (best going with paid option here) cumulatively can help to protect, minimise risk, and a huge benefit to have installed/updated *if* you ever get caught by nasties like this.

Also SpywareBlaster, which blocks various stuff before it even lands on your PC.
