I have been at home more often and more free time these days because of the Coronavirus outbreak, so I have more time at home to do full scans of my hard drives on my PC for viruses, spyware, and malware with antivirus, antispyware, and antimalware programs installed on my Windows computers.

I feel always hearing the word Coronavirus remind me about doing a virus scan on my PC because I hear the word virus very often.

Luckily, my computer does not have any virus and malware on it according to scans from antivirus, antispyware, and antimalware programs installed on my Windows computers.

But, I did find a lot of tracking cookies on my web browser according to SuperAntiSpyware.
 
Not really, I have malwarebytes run once a day and that is good enough. I do need to remember to run SuperAntispyware more often since I don't pay for the paid version.
 
I feel if you are now using your home computer as a work computer for your job like a teacher, it can be a good idea to scan for ransomware, spyware, malware, and adware more often because co-workers, students, and customets may unintentially or intentially e-mail/send you document and work files which are infected by malware.
