A while back you guys cleaned my computer and it's been working great. What I'm wondering is if Malwarebytes will help with getting rid of whatever it is that keeps sending me these e-mails trying to get my personal information. I'll get one or two of these a month. If you think it's possible to rid this computer of this, I'll go through the process of starting a new thread and post the logs you guys need. Thanks

I block these emails that come to me. Of course, this is a full time job as the phishers are Legion (many).

phishing-the fraudulent practice of sending emails or other messages purporting to be from reputable companies in order to induce individuals to reveal personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers

I do block them, but they keep coming back. And thanks for getting back to me.

One thing to do if you are worried your PC is compromised is change all your passwords.
