Satchfan,

It is good to hear  that we have finally finished up cleaning my PC.  As for the file, VideoFideDownload, I do recall downloading YouTube videos a while back, but I did not know that this was from VideoFideDownload. I think for right now I will keep the file.  However, the article that you have posted,  is a bit confusing, being that the article stated many anti-virus programs detect this as malware. Other than the knowledge that I have used such tool, I'm not sure what I should do except trust the program, since I sometimes do like downloading YouTube videos.

 

So for now, I think we can say that my PC is clean to the best of our knowledge. Thank you so much, and happy holidays. :wavey:
