Fellow savers please help.
Some 'uninvited' screen savers keep on coming to my PC while i am using the internet. I have never downloaded any but sometimes it is very difficult for me to close it. I might have about 4 at a time.
My PC had slowed down considerably.
What can i do?
Is there any free programs to download?
Is there anything to use for cleaning up?
Cheers

Who's a naughty boy, then? If you must torrent hooky software, at least scan it before running.I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.
But, if the white runs out, I'll drink the red.0 -
And add another 10 penalty points for still running IE7.No free lunch, and no free laptop0
-
You need to repeat the scan again, and fix what's found before closing!!

Could be that a short malware bytes scan will find different items to the full scan.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0
