Hi, I check marked all of those entries except the Weathereye because I like that to start up each morning when I turn on my computer. I noticed the two Apple/Cloud entries, can I delete those too? We don't have an iPod anymore.

For the time being, check those entries to be disabled because in the future you might buy another type of iPod?Quote:

I'll leave that up to you.
Ok, do I check the two Apple/Cloud things and click "add checked to ignore list"?
About Windows 10, do you NOT recommend I install it? I still haven't and don't know if I should, it's just so new.
checkmark those, they wont be uninstalled just disabled, then reboot.Quote:

When I'm ready for Windows 10, I'd rather buy a machine that has been prepared and that operating system built on it (and when money allows)
Might want to turn off auto-update for Windows updates until after the 1st of August or it might just download and install it in the background.

It's all up to you of course.
Thank you for that, my computer is old too and I've been struggling with deciding whether to download Windows 10 or not. Not!
Before I end all this wonderful help, can I ask.....what programs or scans, besides Spybot, should I run on a regular basis to keep my computer clean? I still have MalwareBytes, SuperAntiSpyware and SpywareBlaster on my computer from last time I got help but didn't know if I should be running them on a regular basis. Any others? How often? The only one I run in Spybot weekly (Do I run Avast scan, I just though it did it in the background).
I found another posted article about Windows 10
Four new Windows patches to avoid: KB 2952664, 2976978, 2977759, and Windows Journal 3170735

Also, I've heard if you hold off on updates till after or around the 1st of August, the free windows 10 offer stops.(Let's hope so)

Sometimes I come under scrutiny when I tell people what to place on their machines, some vendors think your pulling for one or the other ( and I'm not doing that).
What I do is list options of different tools and let you decide what you think fits best for you and yours.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let remove tools and quarantine folders first.
DelFix
- Please download DelFix or from Here 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
- Click the Run button.
- -- This will remove the specialized 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).
