    So far so good.


    Stayed up late and did a major clean up running the diagnostics supplied by AVG. It allowed me to get rid of quite a few....so called free clean up program..... by menas of the full uninstall and remaining files were identified by AVG and also deleted.

    so far this morning I have had NO interruptions or Pop-up adds while using AOL......

    After a good hot cup of tea I will tackle IE and see what happens.

    I am very P***** o** with all the trash false advertising seen on IE. I have changed my settings to "high block" agaisnt pop-up and itr seems to work at least on AOL.

    I have a convoluted set up...... my cable company is Videotron.... so technically they are the ISP... they have very fast optic cabling..... BUT all my entry to the WWW is done by means of AOL..... to whuch I have been a loyal client since the early 90s ..... my not be the best these days but I am familiar with the set up and it seems to meet my needs. I have yet to push there button to find out why I can't use "save pictures as" using there system.

    My next steps...... will check out IE the normal way
    second step will then try again using Shawn's instruction to open IE in No add-on
    3 step use the malware solution.

    Stay tuned and thanks for all your help and patience.

    Update .....


    Used IE....... not as many adds now as before but still some coming in...

    With the High Block option activated I can actually list the specific adds email address and they disappear.

    However, there are always new ones and I beleive that I am fighting a loosing battle as I cannot possible list them all.

    I have been able to use IE to access mu truck forum and it works fine....no more threathening "by our clean up system" and screen freeze.

    Will now try the Malware free scan.

    Keeping my fingers cross.

    It's a Mawrickle ........


    Computer is now so clean it's blowing bubbles from the cooling fan.

    What a little knowledge can do.

    I bow deeply in gratitude. Thanks for the help and for furthering the knowledge of an old man.

    Until the next crisis I shall surf proudly.

    Will monitor various threads to see what else I can learn and no doubt raise a flag if a have another crisis.
