    I seem to have some kind of Holy Trinity of Malware. Two more common fraud antivirus malwares, and then some random thing called Digital Protection, I think it was. It even installed porn on my computer. ~_~
    Anyways I downloaded Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware and it’s scanning like a charm- except when it is finished scanning it says “Click ‘show results’ to display infected objects.” Clicking okay or simply closing the pop up makes no difference, Malwarebyte closes and no log has been created when I restart it! Please help.

    Heather, boot your computer in Safe mode and try scan your computer with Malwarebytes once again.
