I think he means which software you use weekly which are periodic scanners, hope that helps. Such as Malwarebytes etc.

Yes, it helps ... so much

Which periodic scanners do you use?

I don't use any, I have safe surfing habits and I am too absent-minded to remember to do it.
 
LDogg said:
If you do ever choose to use on-demand scanners, Malwarebytes, Emsisoft Emergency Kit & NPE (Norton Power Eraser) are some that can be used if needs be, the latter need a little more knowledge than the other two.

The likeliness of this happening to a home user compared with those of business users, company users & enterprise users is somewhat small, but Cruelsister makes a valid point on these sorts of things. Thanks for sharing.
