<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
(Dell Inspiron, 1501, OS Windows XP home ed).<br />
My browser is Google Chrome<br />
<br />
This virus has recently appeared on my laptop. <br />
<br />
To remove it I tried 'System Restore', but my laptop refuses to restore to any of the dates available.<br />
<br />
I tried running Malwarebytes AntiMalware (free edition) and &nbsp;AVG scan, but made no difference. All the sites I've located claiming to remove the virus turn out to be wanting money for downloading tools. Is there any straightforward way to get rid of this?

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
