This.
Alot of script kiddies out there buying RATS (Remote Access Tools). The "hackers" use crypters to make them FUD (Fully Undetectable). I use Microsoft Defender, but I don't trust it to pick up everything if the payload has been crypted a few times to hide the payload signature. My parents computer kept getting redirects, ended up reinstalling Windows 8. Seems ok now. Hope there wasn't a key logger or RAT on it.
If you got the money, but an extra computer for all your financial stuff and commerce. I am poor, but I should get another computer anyways. Back up stuff you want to keep.
