Watch out for ads on the sites that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). The pages appear to be providing accurate, safe information. Standard Disclaimer: There are links to non-Microsoft websites. I will keep working with you until it's resolved. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. And AdwCleaner is slightly different than that. It is a malware scanner, slightly different. But you need an anti-virus and Malwarebytes is not that.

If you get infected more than once, I'd add Malwarebytes inexpensive Real Time protection in addition to Defender since they check for slightly different variations of infections. These two are the most powerful on-demand scanners out there. Yes, but I'd only use it for it's on-demand scanner to occasionally check up on Defender.
