Malwarebytes isn't a cleaning app, it is a app designed to find and isolate malware. It was written by Thomas R, a long time poster. The program will search for malware/adware. The program will do the work for you which makes it easy. It may be necessary to run more than one scan. After running the scans, restart the computer.
