Good,
Glad we got rid of that pest
Go back to my post # 4 and I linked you to the Win 7 advisor. If it says you can upgrade let me know and I can link you to one of our sister sites that can help you with the upgrade, if it says its not compatible than your just going to have to live with it . You can look around Amazon or eBay for an OEM version of Win 7 upgrade
Let me know how it went

Good Morning,
Looks like your good to go with Windows 7. Don't know if you know about the difference between 32 and 64 bit operating system, it has to do with the file structure and how your hard drive is formatted and stores files, the newer computers are all 64 bit which supports large hard drives. I upgraded my laptop from Vista to Win 7 32 bit a few years ago and its still running just fine. If you do a upgrade I believe it saves your settings and restores them, a clean install is always better but costs a bit more. Before you run out and buy either the full version or an upgrade lets let the experts at Whatthetech guide you through it.
www.whatthetech.com
You can go here and register, like Safer Networking its free , after your registered then go to there windows forum and post, just tell them you want to upgrade to Win 7 from XP, let them know you have not purchased Win 7 yet and ask them what they suggest, an upgrade or clean install. When you post also post the win 7 upgrade advisor report so they can see where you stand

Whatever way you go you should always back up any important files or pictures that you don't want to lose, you can get a nice external hard drive from Seagate at Costco, don't quote me but there around $50 or so, you should have one anyway in case of hard drive failure in the future
This is where I leave you as we just do malware removal on this forum, good luck in whatever you decide to do
Open OTL and click on Clean Up and it will remove programs we used to clean your system along with there backups, any programs that where not removed you can just drag to the trash.
Malwarebytes is the free version and yours to keep and will not be removed
Safe Surfn

Your very welcome. Just start a new topic for your wife's notebook and provide a DDS and aswMBR log and one of us can take a look at it
Take care,
Ken
