    Depending on which version of Internet explorer I might agree
    I've never had any issues with ie10 or 9 ?
    Click on the Gear symbol on the top right and click on About Internet explorer,
    Post which version you have installed,
    Try to download the scanners with ie ?
    Cheers.

    Honestly,
    Thudpucker I think the best course would be a back up of all important data and then do a clean install of Windows and start from a clean canvas. You have your OS disks and all your software and maybe this would be a good time to consider a SSD upgrade as well to make the re-install faster and more fun. Suggest 128gb or larger then all your data will go on the now completely re-formatted HDD.

    I'm scared of that EnemyI.
    If we don't get it here, I'll have to call Dell and buy whatever they sell.

    Thrasher I'm working with IE 11.
    I'll download SAS and MwBytes in IE. Be Back tomorrow.

    An alternative to reinstall would be to make a new administrator account and see if the issues go away In the new account,
    Create a new administrator account,

    Hi,
    You need to run the Full scans my friend in all scanners you use,
    Cheers.
    Please use the Adwcleaner scanner.

    I did a full scan of both again.
    The SAS made me reboot so I couldn't save the info for you. It was 80+ Infections though and I clicked on clean.
    Now I'll run malware full.

    Good, keep going if you are up to it.
    A copy is still on your machine, so don't worry about it now.

    Try to do the Adwcleaner also.


    You are doing great !

    OK, it's clear if I use IE-11. I'll try Fire Fox later on.
    It's difficult to get Fire Fox to reply if something's wrong.

    So I'll call this one closed. Now that I know what to do when I'm in trouble.
    Thanks a bunch, now get some sleep.
