Hoo, I understand the problem now!Information I stated I was going to post;1) Malwarebytes Anti-Malware,Free version from CNET,
http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.htmlClick on - Download Now in the green rectangle. (Has CNET Secure Download in it)Give it a few seconds, and a small window will pop up -Opening mbam-setup-1.70.0.1100.exeClick on Save FileA small download window will pop-up.Allow the file to fully download, then DOUBLE-click right on the file name.There may be another small window that comes up, and states,""mbam-setup-1.70.01100.exe is an executable file. Executable files may contain.....ya-da, ya-da..............It's OK Alice, I assure you. Click on OK.Now perhaps a Microsoft 'Squawk Box' will come up,Open File - Security WarningDo you want to run this file?YES, Click on RunAnother smaller small window will come up. (Pretty 'technical', huh? lol!)Select Setup LanguageEnglish - OKNow agree, and follow the simple instructions.When finished you may be asked to restart your computer. If not, I suggest restart your computer anyway.Double-click on the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware icon on your desktop screen.If a small window comes up stating Malwarebytes database is out of date, click on Yes. (Mine was out of date 12 days)You have your choice of;Perform quick scan,Perform full scanPerform flash scanFor the first time I would suggest Full Scan.After that I use Quick Scan, but the choice is yours.This version Alice, does not automatically start when you turn your computer on. Does not watch over emails, online websites, or downloads in Real Time.You have to start this version of Malwarebytes manually.Start, and run manually at times you have scheduled.I also use the free version of AVG with it. It DOES work in real time.
http://www.avg.com/us-en/free-antivirus-downloadClick on the Orange -> Download(AVG - Antivirus FREE - 2012)Plus I use CCleaner, a free registry cleaner.When you go to a website, you pick up cookies. Purportedly harmless little bits of info. That's nice, but they take up room on your harddrive, too.Everytime you delete a program, or delete files, there are fragmented bits of files left behind. These take up room on your harddrive.There are a lot of things that are done, that leave fragmented files behind, and all of them take up room on your harddrive.When a harddrive reaches 50 percent full, it starts slowing down.This is really noticed when the harddrive reaches 70 percent full, and higher.Remember how fast the computer was when you first got it?Defragment in Windows does not alleviate these file fragments. This is why you need a registry cleaner.CCleaner is a free registry cleaner, and is as good as paid for versions, and better than some. Homepage,
http://www.piriform.com/ccleanerGoing through all the 'bells and whistles', to get to the actual download page,
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleanerGo to the top/right, and click on - Download latest version - in blue.(3.98MB)Took about 8 seconds, then a small window came up,Opening ccsetup326.exeClick on Save FileSame Ol' warning windows will come up;Open Executable File?and,Open File - Security WarningClick on OK, and click on Run.Select your language. It should state English. Click on OK.Click on Next, at the bottom of the next small window.Click on - I Agree - (Unless you wish to read the License Agreement first)Suggest leave all boxes checked. (Green checkmark)Click on Install.In the next window you can click on Finish, and view the Release notes, PLUS start CCleaner; or you can un-check both boxes to do neither, or one box.Want to see the Release notes? Leave the box checked.Want to start CCleaner, without viewing Release notes?Click on the box to the left to remove the green checkmark.Click on Finish.When CCleaner opens, it automatically opens to the Cleaner part of the program.You'll see the Cleaner icon area surrounded by a darkened rectangle.Go to the bottom leftt, and click on Analyze.When finished go to the bottom right, and click on Run Cleaner.A small window will come up -"This process will permanently delete files from your system.Are you sure you wish to proceed?"Click on OK.(In the over 3 years I have been using it, I have never deleted any files I shouldn't have, using the above method)Now go to the left, and click on the Registry icon.Go to the bottom left, and click on - Scan for Issues.When finished, go to the bottom right, and click on -Fix selected issues......A small window will come up -CCleanerDo you want to make backup changes to the registry?For the first time you may wish to. Make a backup.It will go in your Downloads folder.File icon looks like the Registry icon in CCleaner.Size amount of file will be next to the icon.In this case you would click on Yes.I may be fortunate, but I stopped making Backups after the second time of using CCleaner.There was nothing I really needed to save. After a couple of weeks, I went to my Download folder, and deleted the save Backup.I now click on No.No I do not wish to save backup changes to the registry.(Just click on No for the above)Another small window will come up.If you just have one to fix, the Fix Issue 'button' will be highlighted.If you have more than one to fix, the Fix All Selected Issues 'button', will be highlighted. There is also a Close 'button'.Since I have more than one to fix, I will click on the -Fix All Selected Issues -'button'.When done click on Close in that small window.That's it.I suggest leaving anything else alone. These settings are for a more advanced user. Hope that helpsRegards,joecoolvette
