Hi I am new to this forum and wonder if someone could give me some help please.
My computer is slow to start up. Can’t update IE8. when I do it won’t connect to the internet. some sites get “Script on page making it run slowly” . Also other problems. I regularly run Malewarebytes.
I have run the Bleepingcomputer adware remover, which shows 94 registry entries for possible deletion.
Also Hitman pro, which showed 194 references to Yahoo Toolbar, 1 to Softonic and 50 Tracking Cookies with option to Delete. Hitman said no threats but 251 traces. Whatever that means. And 3 suspicious but said to ignore.
I have been told to delete everything that comes up on these 2 programs but there seems to be a lot to delete and they look like they belong to programs I use. I don’t know what to keep or delete.
For example Bleepingcomp shows Under Services and under Files alot of AVG Secure Search and AVG Security Toolbar. references also Yahoo Companion
Under Regristry - here are a few examples, some look as though they belong to programs whilst others I have no idea what they are.
AVG Secure Search HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\{EF99
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\AppID\{1FDFF \ScriptHelper.EXE \ViProtocol.DLL
\Classes\protector_dll.protector \TypeLib\ \ViProtocol.ViProtocolOLE
Explorer\Browser Helper Objects CurrentVersion\Ext\PreApproved\
l\Yahoo! Companion HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\IGearSettings
and alot of :
Key Found : HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{8101 references
How do I know which to keep and which to delete? I don't want to delete registry items that are important to windows and Yahoo and AVG etc
Thanks in advance for any for any help you can give.
