    ok, so I deleted it and succeeded adding extensions
    so i won't add it back for now.

    and i think everything is pretty much good.

    last thing i need to ask is what to do with all the programs you told me to download? can i erase them? do i need to uninstall them? because i cant see them at the add and remove menu (except Malwarebytes)?

    thank you, you are the best!

    I would keep Malwarebytes, update and use it regularly.

    DelFix should remove these tools and the ones it doesn't, just do it manually.



    • 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
      ).

    thanks.

    Malwarebytes is a trial version.... on the last few years i'm using avira anti-virus (not on this laptop yet, because i have the mcfee trail, and look what happened....) and everything function well.
    do you think there is a big difference between avira and Malwarebytes?

    Malwarebytes isn't an Anti-Virus - it doesn't have an Anti-Virus engine so functions differently to that of a traditional Anti-Virus.
    Malwarebytes is configured to install alongside Anti-Virus software.

    They are making changes to the software but it will still function along with any antivirus on a computer.
