well juliet everything seems to be doing fine. i've had one window pop up in 3 days now, it starts fine and runs good...sometimes it seems to drag a little loading a page but...we want it now and high speed internet has spoiled us. i don't think it will surf fast enough but what at some point we'll think it's dragging. i can't think of any hiccups these last few days i'd want to tell you about. it may very well have been taken care of by a heckuva nurse! it could be time to go home from the hospital. i guess if there is any clutter left hiding from the party it will show up at some point? i guess if so, i sure know where to go. what say you?
new scan results posted...barely got it posted because of ad pop ups...

Don't know how old the machine is, or if you had a brand new one if surfing would be instant, but this is probably our end result.
I can say that if anything is left, like you say, it will rear it's ugly head then you can come back to us
Let's get rid of these tools and quarantine folders now. Then I'll send you on your merry way.

ok juliet...you have been an awesome help here. my pc is a gateway DX 4860 intel i3-2120 with 6.00GB and is about 3 years old...maybe 4. it's always been pretty fast. one thing i notice is scrolling...i have a cheap walmart mouse, is it is very sketchy and will hang, then take off. is this maybe something still hanging around or just normal for a cheap mouse?
gosh, don't know.

uh oh! i don't know what's happened here...everything was fine. i dl the windows repair and ran it as said, i added some of the add ons you posted adblock, wot, noscript and secuina. went to eat, came back on and it took forever for firefox to open, and when it did it would just run and freeze up. i restarted again and went to system restore and ran it back to i think it was 8 am and it restored. on restarting i went to open firefox and it was slower than ever, once it opened i tried a game that uses java and opens in another window which would not load. i tried to close things and they all just freeze so i tried task mgr to kill firefox and my desktop went opaque white with a window saying the program windows is not responding, click to wait or close. i'd have to manually turn my pc off, cross my fingers and it came back on in safe mode with networking. i hope this is just some settings got jumbled somehow but i'm as scared as i was when all this started.
whew! never mind! i was able to come and dl the windows repair tool again since the system restore lost it and ran the chckdisk and removed the add ons i had added and it all seems good again. (knocking on my head) :laugh: :flowers:
Sounds like something was incompatible, don't know which one.

ok juliet, done deal! unless something pops up here real soon and it looks like everything is fine, this will be the last post for me in this thread. no matter what i put here in ways of saying thanks are insufficient. you and tashi have both been a great help to me in cleaning out this mess and saving my pc. i can't see me affording another anytime soon and is a huge understatement to say it's a relief to me that you, tashi and safer networking helped. i hope you all know how thankful i am and a lot of others i'm sure for all the help...work, you do for us. thanks again! God bless!
