Ever consider TAILS? It's about as good as it gets today. Windows is the target of choice and with new threats each day you may be upset that scans and more may not show what's up.
If not TAILS, how about a very nice Linux like Mint?
Are you fed up enough to start using something a lot more secure?

Hello,
I've got reasons to think that my PC and e-mail are hacked.
I used to be editor of a website created by a guy called A. When I stopped, I began to get viruses on my PC and curious things occurred :
-- The files dated Jan 2014 up to Jan 2015 were erased in my download repertory, Adwcleaner was desinstalled.
-- A Google search abut an adware told me that I had consulted three pages on the subject the day before... but I had never opened those pages.
-- An e-mail to another editor (say B) never arrived, due to a failure in the redirection to his e-mail address devoted to the website. However, neither B nor me asked for such a redirection.
-- But the most bizarre thing was the following. I used an anonymous proxy to check something on the website of A and suddenly the page with the double url bar changed into a normal page that I only could have obtained by typing my name and password (and which couldn't be a Google cache page).
I intend to reformat my PC in the next days but I would like to make it clear before. Avast, Ccleaner, Adwcleaner, Malewarebytes, Spybot... have only detected viruses but no spyware. Is there a way to know if my computer has been pirated?
Thanks in advance!
