Hi Juliet,
My computer is running much better and faster than it was before. Thank you so much for your help.
The program Quiknowledge was not listed so I couldn't uninstall it, though I do remember uninstalling it at some point. Outfoxed seems to be gone now with the recent fix as it is no longer coming up on my desktop or start menu. That is fantastic!
I have noticed that I still get a notice from Windows about Plug and Play hardware that is attempting to install on my computer and I'm not sure what that is. Could it be the wireless mouse I am using?
The Yahoo page that I usually use as my homepage is being blocked by IE for security certificate errors and I'm not sure if there is something I need to do about it.
I'm not sure if I should be concerned about either of these issues. I am very pleased with the improvements, especially now that Outfoxed seems to be gone.
I opened Mozilla Firefox and Outfoxed was the homepage... Also it appears that the version I have installed is outdated? Should I uninstall Firefox and install it again? I prefer to use Firefox as it seems to cause less problems with my computer (although maybe the problems have nothing to do with IE).
Here is the fixlog:
