My home computer has recently been infected by XP Security Tool. I am not very computer savy, but I did some reading on the problem and was advised to use malwarebytes to remove the XP Security Tools. After running the scan I followed the instructions and removed the infected items, but the next day I got the same XP Sec. pop-ups.
Any help that I may receive would be appreciated.
