    Sometimes browsers get 'hijacked' with undesirable browser-object-helpers. System specs help us determine what type of help you may need for your set up :)

    I noticed that the following windows item was installed about the time my problem started: Microsoft.NET Framework 4.51

    What is this and what would happen if I uninstall?

    Let's see if DDS can point to something amiss...

    Download DDS from one of these links:
    DDS.com
    DDS.pif
    • Disable any script blocking protection (look to see if Norton may block this)
    • Double click the dds icon to run the tool.
    • When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
      1. DDS.txt
      2. Attach.txt <--- will be minimized in the task tray
    • Save both reports to your desktop.

    Include the contents of both logs in your next post.
    The scan will instruct you to post Attach.txt as an attachment.

This afternoon while deleting a movie from iTunes, the computer suddenly froze. I did a hard shutdown and then went to reboot. It took 15 minutes and then literally everything took forever to open. No pre-warning, it just started. No new software added today. Anything I tried to do in Windows...
