[QUOTE="Maz123, post: 341166, member: 33654"] I tried to download a font from ufonts.com and seem to have caught something. Computer is going increasingly slower and not doing what I say, so after removing the browser extensions, I assume there is a virus or similar at work in the background that is causing trouble. Please help! Details of steps taken so far: I have removed the extensions from Firefox and Chrome, and deleted the file that I had downloaded (I can't remember what they were called, which is annoying). It's obvious there is still something going on in the background. I have also run MalwareBytes and Microsoft Security Essentials, and they don't seem to have picked anything up, aside from 1 file, which MalwareBytes deleted. I downloaded Farbar Recovery Scan Tool, then (as in the instructions) right-clicked to run as admin, and pressed scan, but all that happened was the window for the application kind of greyed out, like it was unable to do anything. I waited for a wee while but nothing seemed to be happening. I also tried the 32-bit version but that didn't work. [/QUOTE]
