My virus scan has detected over 52 viruses on my computer yesterday. Now today it's detecting malware in my adobe reader. I need to have adobe for some of  my games I play. What can I do? I deleted Google Chrome because most of the malware and viruses where coming from that. Now I am using Torch Browser.

Hello JenniferSegroves,
 
Welcome to the Community Forum,
 
That's alot of viruses to say the least. Alot of games contact PUAs and Malware. I would uninstall Adobe Reader and reinstall from here. http://get.adobe.com/reader/ and Adobe Flash Player from here and make sure you uncheck any optional programs or add ons. They will cause trouble with your system.
 
EDIT: Also put in a good popup blocker!
 
 
 
Hope this helps and if not please get back to us.
 
Kind Regards,

Thank you Sherry.
