[QUOTE="LASER_oneXM, post: 521551, member: 49392"] ... i never was "seriously" infected (in the last about 20 years). My last infection (about 8 months ago) was only a PUP-infection/browser Ad-ware. I installed a program (i think it was a file from softtonic.com) that contained unwanted programs: i dont know how i/who downloaded this file from softtonic.com: i knew softtonic.com is a "dangerous" platform... so i don't know exactly how it could happen... Maybe my girlfriend or my friends downloaded it or i was just drunk again ..... :D I had to "reset" the profiles of both browsers (Firefox and Chrome): since then everything is fine again.....
