    Its good that this forum has so many people on that are willing to help others :D

    Hanx RIK, just conscious that some may see it as "shovin in" as opposed to "trying to help" :)

    Its true that theres sometimes 'too many cooks' with too many different ideas
    Which usually completely confuses the poor OP.

    Best bet that way I find is state your case and sit back (And clearly voice your opinion if you believe a suggestion really SHOULDNT be used)

  • Thank you. Running Malwarebytes now, but it's taking forever...I'll keep updated

  • Okay, I ran malwarebytes but it restarted my laptop before I had a chance to post the log. I looked in the "logs" section when it restarted and there's nothing there.
    D'ya want me to run another scan?

    ...if it found nothing, probably not..if it did find some stuff, and it re-booted the comp in order to remove stuff, yes..is your scanner back up yet ?? is the comp running better/worse/normal ??

  • wait, I remember when everything started to stop working.

    It was when I installed Avast! Antivirus, but it's gone now and the things are still not working

  • Hi,
    Was just looking through CCleaner and am curious about some of the stuff. Can anyone explain to me what these things are?

    - Missing Shared DLLs
    - Obsolete Software
    - MUI Cache
