hello everybody
i decided to start a new thread about this corrupted files saga that is on-going.firstly can i say a big thank-you to torchwood for some great advice regarding the updates.as per advice i deleted 3126446 and 3022345.i also changed the download & install method.firstly i changed from automatically install to download & let me choose but that didn't work because yesterday i got a notice for 2 important updates one of which was 3126446 which i de-selected.i installed the other and rebooted.when i was closing down i had the icon for an update(which i installed) and when i opened up my computer and checked there was 3126446 so i changed the selection to let me choose to download and install( how do i know?)sorry to go on and on about this but i also wondered if anyone got to look at the most recent log files i posted(sfc+sur) in the previous thread and if so is there anything new showing up there.thanks again for all your patience with me.
kudos

One last thing you mentioned MuckAfee - something you could not give me I would change to something else but the choice is as always yours of course.
There are some good free ones here Free Windows Desktop Software Security List | Gizmo's Freeware use the real time listings but not AVG and if you do get rid of the McAfee then make sure you use the removal tool for it not the Control Panel feature only.

thank you ICIT2LOL. what a really amazing and informative thread.i have implemented (i think) your advice on this download crap.your advice on the win10 downloads is invaluable and as for your link to Ultimate Outsider well that is just incredible.i implemented your advice and VOILLA win10 is gone-not a trace.no stupid pop-ups or anything else.i am very much inclined to agree with you about "Muckafee" dont seem to do much as regards BLOCKING anything(long story maybe some other time, or not).i tend to rely on Malwarebytes.once again thank you mate for ALL your invaluable advice it is so appreciated.you guys are so informed.AWESOME.
kindest regards

That is no problem and well just another little something for you if you want to get a bit more out of your 7 install work through this http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/11728-optimize-windows-7-a.html very simple things to do and you will appreciate the difference it makes if you don't mind losing soem of the "bling" like transparency (never could see the point of it apart from being a flashy add on)
if you get into real trouble this uis another free scanner for the difficult stuff
AdwCleaner Download
delete any rubbish found with the malware scans
(NB If one is running Kaspersky security it may rant about ADW - just ignore it or disable Kaspersky while the ADW is being used)
If you are not using this then it is worth using each day or so to keep the clutter down CCleaner - Free Download - Piriform < now when you do the analyse go Analyse (when done) > Options > Cookies - see my pics (may not be in order) for what to do next before going back the the brush and running the cleaner.
Want any more help just ask oh by the way most of us use this software.
One last thing download and run this https://unchecky.com/ before you start any downloads to stop add on programs being accidentally loaded while installing stuff like Adobe for example
