Thanks for the advice; I need all the advice I can get, on this new problem!

I don't do banking on my laptop, pay bills, play games,nor go to weird sites; unless others find this site, Drudge, etc. to be "weird". I try to be as careful as I can be.

Great - the best security software is in user’s heads. Mostly common sense - don’t click on links in email unless it’s really a trusted sender (and not a fake), don’t open/download anything from emails without virus-checking them first and just be careful in general about what links a person clicks on anywhere online.
Avoiding the obvious problem sites - the XXX sites, unreliable & illegal software (”warez”) sites, illegal music/movies download sites, etc.
And of course, updating anti-malware every day is a must.
