Thanks for the info. Also, everyone running Windows should download and run this:

I downloaded this from MS Update, and I can’t find it…I don’t see it anywhere, not even under Control Panel.

It runs in the background, and does not actually display any results unless it finds something. Microsoft will be adding this to their update site every 2nd Tuesday of the month with new updates—again only displaying critical messages.

If you want to see the results of the scan, fine the following file: 

\Windows\Debug folder\mrt.log

-m
