That's the only thing that came up and as for performance, its working without a glitch now. There were times when my ping would skyrocket and make things miserable. Seems free and clear now.

Good deal

Please open Notepad *Do Not Use Wordpad!* or use any other text editor than Notepad or the script will fail. (Start -> Run -> type notepad in the Open field -> OK) and copy and paste the text present inside the quote box below:
To do this highlight the contents of the box and right click on it and select copy.
Paste this into the open notepad. save it to the Desktop as fixlist.txt
NOTE. It's important that both files, FRST/FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.
It needs to be saved Next to the "Farbar Recovery Scan Tool" (If asked to overwrite existing one please allow)

CloseProcesses:
C:\Users\Shawn\AppData\Local\Temp\HYD1844.tmp.1458563155\HTA\install.1458563155.zip

Open FRST/FRST64 and press the > Fix < button just once and wait.
If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please post it to your reply.
 
This may sound corny but you say save it next to. That meaning in the same file or both independent and on the desktop or drag and drop the fixlist.txt file into FRST/FRST64?
Also, for some reason my hard drive is constantly running. Opened up task manager and noticed that under processes and at the top of the disk column its running at 100% most of the time. This is concerning as to reducing the life and integrity of the HD.
 
Just dawned on to take a look at drive space and to my surprise, more like astonishment, my entire drive is full. 8G left on a 775G HD.

I edited the post, does that help?

Also, when you open task manager, what process does it show using the most CPU?, and if your hard drive is full can you place some items to an external backup to free up space?
 
Will do. Another thing I have noticed is when opening an online PDF document IE stops working and the frequents clears. I have noticed that I don't even have to open an online PDF doc to clear frequents. Something that tells me something is still there.

Also, I found the reason for so much space taken up. pagefile was set to a very high amount of space. Resized and its good.
Uninstalled Adobe and will clean up and reinstall.
 
It was running better. Not nearly as much lag and dropping connection. Thank you. Although I had found some suspicious activity and was trying to locate its origin so I looked in the device manager and noticed a razer device and located it in the registry in a very strange spot. Tried uninstalling it but it isn't on the uninstall list nor is it in the file system. Only in the registry. So, I installed razer synapse as I did some research into what it was and then uninstalled it. Upon reboot I get the BSOD with a big frown face saying your PC ran into a problem........BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO
So, I tried a restore and that didn't help. Looks like it's time to buy a solid state drive and reinstall Windows and everything else. Thanks for your help though.
 
Ended up resetting and keeping files worked but unfortunately all apps and programs have been deleted. No worries though. At least the files are still there. Time to rebuild now.
 
Got everything back up and running. It deleted all programs and apps except the ones you recommended and even made a list for me of what programs that were deleted. Slowly installing programs and getting back to where it was before this fiasco but gonna be looking into upgrading to an SSD soon. So, will be doing all this again soon anyway. Your help is/was greatly appreciated and the software will be utilized in the future I'm sure. Thanks again.
 
We're glad to help

Got almost all programs reinstalled and have ran a few scans from different programs and seems like its running great now. Updated everything and running antivirus now at 82% and nothing yet. Ill look into those links. Id like to get more educated and learn how and why you wrote that code. Still gonna upgrade to an SSD though. :)
 
Happy to hear it's going well.

Research can be your friend :) and training.
 
Glad we could help. :)
