Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated.

It looks like what I downloaded from adobe was legit. I couldn’t be sure what date I downloaded it. I guess it was 29 Oct - the malware was 31 Oct / 01 Nov. So all good I guess.

Also, Adobe’s disappeared so I guess that proves I deleted a legit program.

I also ran the Malwarebytes you suggested. All clear.

There’s a chance also if I did download the pagefair malware that my Norton 360 Premier hadn’t expired and took care of it. (I got a pop up from them when I logged on this morning saying it’d expired. I didn’t say when. Then an hour later I find out about the economist / pagefair hack).

And yes - I’m a subscriber of The Economist.

Thanks again.

Cheers,
