hi adam. i can not connect to the internet via wireless again tried it in safemode with networking which worked for a while but before i could send the reply it lost internet access again, the laptop ran exceptionally quick via safemode however. I have managed to find an ethernet wire so will complete all tasks requested using the wire instead of wireless from now. here is the log result, would you like me to rerun it now i have internet access?

No need to rerun the programme.
When you receive an error whilst performing Windows Updates, does the error reference any number or identification code?
Your System Summary doesn't appear to list your System Model. The make of your computer is Toshiba, but what is the System Model?

ive had a break through, i tried windows updates with the Lan connection in and it did it with no problems at all, after the updates were installed the wireless connection regained connection and is working for now. the laptop is still slow to respond (like you said possibly the ram issue), the model is a satellite pro L450D-12x

Hi Lisa,
Good news regarding Windows Updates.
Whilst connected via WiFi, what is the signal strength () like? Do other devices connected via WiFi also experience the same issues? For example, do you have a phone or tablet connected?
Uninstalling/Reinstalling a Driver
- Press the Windows Key + r on your keyboard at the same time. Type devmgmt.msc and click OK.
- Locate Network Adapters and click the corresponding drop-down box arrow.
- Locate Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC, right-click the driver, click Uninstall, followed by OK.
- Reboot your computer. Ensure you are connected to the Internet via Ethernet.
- Let me know if Windows automatically searches for the Wireless driver upon boot.

Please visit this page. Click the blue download button, and follow the prompts to install the driver.
After installing the driver, please turn your computer off. I would now like you to power cycle your router/modem. Switch your router/modem off, and pull the cables out. Wait 30 seconds. Insert the cables back in, and turn your router/modem back on.
Turn your computer on. Check if you can connect via WiFi.
Let me know how you get on.

Thank you for letting me know. There is no need to carry out the instructions in my previous post.
Providing you are not experiencing any issues (excluding potential slowness caused by lack of RAM), I think we are just about done here!
STEP 1
OTL
- Please download OTL and save the file to your desktop.
- Double-click OTL.exe to run the programme. Ensure all other windows are closed.
- Copy the entire contents of the codebox below and paste into the textbox.
:OTL :Commands [emptytemp] [emptyjava] [clearallrestorepoints]
- Click the button.
- Let the programme run and reboot your computer if prompted.
STEP 2
DelFix
- Please download DelFix and save the file to your Desktop.
- Double-click DelFix.exe to run the programme.
- Place a checkmark next to the following items:
- Activate UAC
- Remove disinfection tools
- Create registry backup
- Reset System Settings
- Click the Run button.
-- This will remove the specialised tools we used to disinfect your system. Any leftover logs, files, folders or tools remaining on your Desktop which were not removed can be deleted manually (right-click the file + delete).
--- Malwarebytes Anti-Malware will still be present on your computer. I recommend keeping this programme, updating and scanning with it once a week to maintain security on your computer. If you do not wish to keep this programme on your computer, you can uninstall it by pressing the Windows Key + r on your keyboard at the same time, typing appwiz.cpl, clicking OK and searching for Malwarebytes.
