Malwarebytes, they tried this at Rutherford where I used t work. The updates were always out of date.
My guess is the muck is moving around via windows, I doubt you'd get this on a Mac, and certainly not on Linux.
In my experiences it pays in the end to go over to Linux or Mac. All these anti-malware apps I've found seem at best to be one step behind, or in some cases malicious themselves.
NB: I had a Linux comp running for years and regularly on sites that would foul any windows machine in a jiff, it never fell over once and always did what I expected of it.
Not being an expert, in relation to JK's report I can only suggest what I'd do with a seriously infected windows comp.....just back up all your important stuff and do a new install, then make sure as to not be caught out again.
The golden rule for these special offers is; if it looks too good to be true, probably it is.
