    I use it and run
        it often, too.

        I do not turn off AV or firewall protection.

      Hi Elizabeth,
        

        
        Malwarebytes is about the best tool for cleaning up
          infections automatically.  I use it fairly often.  Once
          installed, when you run it, it first updates itself and then
          scans and offers to fix any nasties it finds.  Great product
          and free!
        

        
        The Malicious Removal tool normally runs once a month when
          Windows updates are downloaded on the second Tuesday.  It's
          useful, but Malwarebytes is better.

            Hi John,

                

                I thought I read in the prelude to Malwarebytes that it
                was necessary to temporarily disable both the firewall
                and antivirus. It gave me the quivers. 

                

                In the meantime, while fishing around for information to
                help myself, I ran across "Windows malicious software
                removal tool". It did not require any "turn-offs", which
                settled my nerves, and I began the use of the tool after
                midnight last night. I was amazed to find it made little
                progress by morning and ran for a few more hours.

                

                More amazing, was that it found no infected files. Given
                that my computer's performance runs at a consistent 3.5,
                I could just stare at the screen at disbelief. Then, I
                thanked my lucky stars.

                

                I appreciate your help, John.

                

                Cheers,

                Hi Elizabeth,
                  

                  
                  It's not necessary to turn the firewall off to
                    run Malwarebytes.  It's completely compatible with
                    the Windows firewall, and you are safer keeping it
                    up.
                  

                  
                  You don't need to turn Avast off either to run
                    Malwarebytes in my experience.

                      Babette,

                          
                        I want to run malwarebytes and know where
                        to turn off the firewall. But it scares me when
                        I then get a message asking if i want to make
                        changes to the computer. I just want to turn it
                        off temporarily so I can run the malware.

                        

                        Also, I have avast antivirus and don't know how
                        to turn it off temporarily. Can you send a
                        recipe of steps, please?

                        

                        Many thanks!

                          Irma...that General Account Preference
                            has to do with whether you want all
                            downloaded transactions immediately dumped
                            into your register at one time when they are
                            received at a download.
                           
                          Especially in the case of Credit Card
                            downloads, which can have a LOT of
                            individual transactions, I find it better to
                            use Never Automatically.  The downloaded
                            transactions then show in a separate panel
                            below the register, and you can accept them
                            one at a time.  
                           
                          For me, this makes it easier to make sure
                            categories are correct or edit them and to
                            check for duplicates.
                           
                          However, some people must prefer to have
                            them all added automatically, or the option
                            wouldn't be there.
                           
                          Re the account's being grayed out, what
                            do you mean by "On the General Screen"?   Is
                            that the list in the Account Bar, the
                            account as it appears on the Account List or
                            the whole register if you click on the
                            account to open it?
