Yes. You can post in our windows forum for help sorting out your programs and such and maybe they can help you remove things you dont need to speed up your system.

          wow, thanks so much for everything.  You have been amazing and extremely responsive. I very much appreciate it.  It looks like the malwarebytes is the thing that cleans the computer up? and the rest of for you to see how the computer is running or do the other things clean out the computer as well?

          Malwarebytes is one of the nicest programs to come along in awhile, you can upgrade to the Pro version, it has a protection module that will block bad sites from loading, but this is totally up to you, we don't push or sell any programs.

           

          All the other tools and scanners are written by our own malware fighters , some of them help on the forums and also love to write nice programs

           

           

          Take care my friend

          Ron,

           

          All of us helpers are volunteers , we do this for no pay in our spare time because we really despise the miscredients that write this garbage and like helping nice people like yourself. So on this forum  the donation goes to me directly.

           

           

          Ken :)
