Hello, I'm a new member and glad to be a part of this group. I also found my way here because of bytefence. Anyone who's been working with a computer for many years has had run-ins with malware - the worst when I lost my entire OS from a bad active-x trojan horse
Anyway, I finally gave in to the "promptings" FB to install Messenger. Big mistake.The next morning when I logged into my Windows 10 computer, BYTEFENCE had a big a** screen size display right in my monitor face telling me I had 30+ malwares that needed to be removed. And of course I had to BUY bytefence to get that done!! One of the "malwares," on its list - I don't remember which, I happened to know was bogus (I mean I knew it was not on my computer). So I was convinced byteware is mal itself.
Well, I clicked off bytefence's tab, but it kept popping up on its own. Today, I uninstalled it, and it still tried to come back during the deinstall - hoping I might send money, I guess.
I don't see any trace of it now, but I'm going to be looking for some malware programs to hunt down anything it might have left hiding somewhere. It behaved just like malware imho. Now I plan to dump Messenger, too!
