I have run Spybot Search and Destroy and AVG. Adware was removed and a trojan was removed, at least I thought they were removed. Windows defender still wants to restart my computer. Windows defender has found several trojans on my computer (Win32/Vundo.gen!G). It removes them every time I restart and then it reappears. Computer runs slow too.
