Billy,

I also run Windows 7 and have since shorty after it came out. I still have not had one attack specifically during the recent period when many were having problems and I don't run Malwarebytes or Spybot. I did install them both for a very short time, but ended up taking them off when I discovered that they didn't discover anything. Chances are that the culprit was on your hard-drive and a clean install of Windows 7 got rid of it. Happy computing!
