    nothing found whatsoever seems pretty redundant to post the report.

    Lets open up msconfig

    Press the key and the letter R key on your keyboard . The Run window should pop up right above the taskbar . Type in: msconfig and press [ENTER]

    On the Startup tab uncheck everything but the Antivirus software . Click on Apply and OK and click on Exit without restart and restart manually .

    lve tried this once before, problem is its hard to predict when my issues will occur, l havent had a freeze when opening the first mkv file or any random 50% cpu rises on explorer.exe since l ran a few of the progs however sometimes l go for weeks without issue sometimes it happens a couple of times l reboot.

    tho earlier l did notice one of my plugins had disappeared on firefox. save images l think it was called.

    Lets see if we could run a new frst64.exe

    Delete the old version and Redownload from below

    Run Farbar Recovery Scan Tool


    64-Bit Version OS Farbar Recovery Scan Tool x64 <===== Download Link

    Drag the FRST64.exe from the Downloads folder to your Desktop

    Right click on FRST64.exe and choose

    When the tool opens click Yes on the disclaimer window .

    Press Scan button.

    FRST will let you know when the scan is complete and has written the FRST.txt to file
