The thing about malware is that it's a constant arms race. Even the best antivirus does nothing to protect the user against malware, since malware is just regular software, no viruses. It, technically, isn't doing anything an antivirus is worried about. But anti-malware software, like Malwarebytes, scans specifically for things like software that is doing something it's not supposed to - but each time Malwarebytes identifies and innoculates against one type of malware, a new strain arrives that doesn't set off any alarms.
You know those people who just click "next next next" when installing software from the internet, like say, a YouTube video downloader, etc - they're usually installing malware too, without realizing it. Toolbars for browsers, browser extensions, that all look harmless - but make your PC a part of a botnet.
So yeah, while GAF might not be a major contributor here, millions of random college kids, internet cafe users, around the world... does add up.
I guess I'll just play Persona 4 Golden(Chrimbus gift) , which should help until it comes back online again.
