Released for users Malwarebytes Anti-Malware in Russian helped to solve all these problems, which made the work with the program even more attractive than before.

A few words about internal security

Despite the fact that the use of antiviruses is more likely to be associated with external threats, it is important for the stable operation of the PC to be able to withstand internal hazards. Therefore it is worth:

• Store separately the system information and personal information (the latter is best stored on logical disks where there is no Windows folder, that is, there is no OS installed), sort it for easy orientation.
• Create copies of photos and important data on removable media, which will help to avoid tangible losses in the event of a malfunction in the PC.
• Install applications on the system disk and delete unused systems for unloading.
• Clean the system of all unnecessary "garbage", and in case of problems or lack of experience, contact professionals.

These simple rules will avoid unnecessary problems. Otherwise, even such a powerful program, like Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, will not help. Reviews of real people will seem to be paid advertising comments (because the program did not help you), important data will be lost, problems will appear at work, and the mood will be hopelessly spoiled. Therefore, it is worth thinking about the security of your computer, not only in case of problems, but also when everything seems to be good.
