Help cleaning up please.

that's still quite high, what's running?

uninstall windows defender
uninstall malwarebytes
reinstall malwarebytes, and decline the 14 day trial

do you use google toolbar? if not, uninstall it.

do you need the nokia software running, if not, uninstall it.


Where did the western digital software come from? Is that from an external usb drive?


how often do you plug a tom tom into it? The tom tom software is sat there running all the time

I did that just after a restart so nothing was running, I then loaded this and posted on here.

So is windows defender not needed?

Will do the malware bit after reply about defender if thats ok.

was thinking about using a better browser so what what would you reccommend, then would not need google.

Will get rid of nokia as not used now.

I have an external hard drive but it has not got a bit on it that shows me what is stored on it, I have to set up a retrival folder and was going to get my son to talk me through that.

No it's not needed, just use avast, and do manual scans with malwarebytes every so often

In windows explorer, go to c:\windows\tasks, click on the clean system memory task, schedule, advanced, and change it from every 30 minutes to every 5 minutes, then ok, ok.

In internet explorer, click on tools, internet options, advanced, disable script debugging to stop this running

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\mdm.exe

uninstalling google toolbar won't stop you using google or your browser, simply set the homepage to www.google.co.uk

Got rid of defender

done this;
In windows explorer, go to c:\windows\tasks, click on the clean system memory task, schedule, advanced, and change it from every 30 minutes to every 5 minutes, then ok,

uninstalled malware not got it back just yet doing the rest.

when doing this;
Find c:\program files\cleanmem\mini_monitor, run it and right click the icon (near the clock) to set it to automatically run at startup, show percentage to keep an eye on your ram use.

could not see a bit to set it to auto run in start up.


done this;
In internet explorer, click on tools, internet options, advanced, disable script debugging to stop this running

with this
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\mdm.exe
had to pick between dreamwezver mx or 4 What one should I pick


could not see nokia in programmes to be able to remove.

you can forget the bit about mini monitor as you have set it to run every 5 minutes.

had to pick between dreamwezver mx or 4 What one should I pick???????????? dont follow?

can you see google things in add/remove? nokia software is running, so should be there somewhere.

there are 2 google things in add remove

google updater

forget the mdm thing, you didn't need to click on it, just do internet explorer, click on tools, internet options, advanced, disable script debugging to stop it running all the time

uninstall googleupdater, and if you don't use it, photo screensaver too

ar you using a hp printer?

nickyt

got rid of updater and it's saying there was a fatal error when installing so won't do anything


I don't have anything that say nokia but I do have PC Connectivity Solution
