Let me know what OS you are running and will give you URL's and "How to Sheets" for the software.

your welcome As many will tell you on here I am rather long winded with my answers but always feel I need to give as much information as I can, since you run firefox be sure and read the second item about AVG which tell about how to set for firefox and many other FAQ for AVG. ORDER OFCLEANING & ADDING NEW PROTECTION When you know or suspect that your PC is infected with virus/spyware & mal-ware, and its been way to long since you have cleaned cookies, history, temporary internet files etc, visited you add/remove area and looked at these programs to see what is here that may or may not need to be. Some of you may have never even done a “defrag” or a disk clean both of which will make PC run much better. One of the program’s I mention often is Belarc as many people don’t know what’s on their PC and when you run this FREE software you will have a wealth of information at your hands. One of the last things I tell people to do is reset “msconfig” which is the startup order of your PC, as by default is comes set with ever thing turn on and this can slow system down. Also spyware can hide here.(this last item you do after you get done) So take a look at the list below and use it as a guide to the order you need to do things when cleaning up PC and then adding your new layers of protection. 1. Easy way to manually clean you cookies, history, temporary files etc is to go to Internet Options>general tab>delete>you will see choices to delete several items, choose which ones work for you. Software that can do this for you also will do other things will be: IE Privacy Keeper & Glary Utilities 2. Go to control panel>add/remove and look at this list see what’s there that may need to go- out of date software, more than one copy of software like for example two version of Quick Books 02 and 07, games you don’t play any more, and if you see the name of some thing you don’t recognize then Google the name to see what it is.(good chance its spyware that’s install from you clicking on a popup somewhere or it’s a extra from some software you added and you don’t need, never used) be sure to reboot when done 3. If you adding you software such as a virus/spyware program many require to remove other software you have installed as you only need one Virus program but good idea to run at least 2 spyware programs. Example: Have Norton’s or McAfee then must remove to run AVG 8.5 (for Norton’s be sure and choose remove all & for McAfee put a check in all the boxes and click yes) Have AVG 7.0 remove to put on AVG 8.5 Have Avast remove to add AVG 8.5 Same for the spyware programs & Adware software 4. Look at list and add Virus software first, then spyware second and registry repair next. Good idea to reboot between installs just to be sure system is happy with what you’re doing. And make sure each program is update as needed. AVG 8.5 Spybot S&D MalwareBytes Superantispyware Glary Utilities 5. Now if system seems stable I would install registry repair program, you may be surprised at the amount of errors it finds, if there are a lot say 100-400 then run scan again. As some errors create errors as they fix so need to run second time. Reboot. 6. If system seem stable now go and defrag and do it at least 2 times even if the programs says not needed. Reboot again (Unless it’s Vista which Defrag by default on its own normally) 7. Finally step run “msconfig” to reset the startup order which by default has every thing turned on which can slow your system down and hide spyware. When you look at list can be a little scary too, take at look at this link and learn more about the items on you PC. http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php (over 13,000 of them) 8. Repeat step # 5 just to be sure all is well with all the changes you have made. 9. If you need to know just for information what is installed now on your PC download Belarc and run, will show you ever thing from Software, Hardware to the keys to your OS which come in handy all for FREE. Well you should have a much nicer runner system now; hope this list has helped you keep things in order. G_tech Side note If system real unstable you may want to or have to enter safe mode F8 and run the virus and spyware programs first just because system is so infected. If so run them once and then come back and do the other things on list and then re run scans again.
