Hello,

I have Webroot Secure Anywhere and EMET Notifire 3.0.0 running on my Windows 10 desktop. Recently, I noticed Firefox was redirecting to "critical Firefox update" and "You have a virus" type sites. I ran Panda, MBAM, AdwCleaner, and HitmanPro free versions and discovered one piece of malware which I removed. This is only the third infection I have had in 7 years.

My questions are as follows:

1) Do I need to or should I use an additional premium product such as MalwareBytes Premium or HitmanPro.Alert?

2) What additional protection, if any, will something like MalwareBytes Premium provide?

Thanks,

Paul M
