Hi guys,
I got some sort of malware/virus accidentally going to www.facebook.com (with and extra .com) gave me some sort of call microsoft number or else you will have data loss if you close the windows. I ended up nuking my computer but I'm worried it somehow still lingered. I am currently on yahoo.com and in my google browser the Y (representing yahoo) in the tab and the refresh symbol will flicker. The refresh symbol will change to the "x" symbol as it flickers.
My question is this normal to happen or do I still have something lingering and should bring it in to the computer shop? Thanks
 
Solution
Run malwarebytes free edition.
If it is simple malware, it will be detected and removed.
If it is more nasty, then you may need to do a clean new install of windows.
