They are, though Malwarebytes Antimalware also has a paid version.

But MalwareBytes found a few items and then wanted money to clean
them. Same thing with Spybot S&D.

You need to say where you got them. For example, if you google for the
two words:  malware bytes  the first site presented is a known rogue
site, malwaree.org  which presents a program that does exactly what you
describe .. then goes on to infest your computer with other/more crap.

Since you spelled it with the two words, I'd guess you shot yourself in
the foot.

The correct site ishttp://malwarebytes.org

You should make sure you are running the correct one. Also, get and run
SUPERAntiSpyware fromhttp://superantispyware.com/

I ended up d/l Ad-Aware and that worked fine.

I've read where Ad-Aware has reached the end of its useful life.
