Do you think you have it?

I don’t have it, but a neighbor has had it a couple of times. A guru friend of theirs fixed it for them and he said he had seen it often. They are careful with email and the web sites they visit and have no idea where it came from. They have virus protection software and use Malwarebytes often.

I am curious about it. The results of Googling the virus protection software sites seem to say it is a rootkit type of malware that takes special software to remove.

Just trying to learn about it.
