These people are great! It is a free site and you have to be patient if you decide to listen to them and let them help you get rid of the junk. They give great instructions and walk you through exactly what you need to do to get rid of the really stubborn stuff. They help so many people so somtimes it takes them a day or a few hours to get back to you. I did a lot of reading at the site on my own that helped me even further.
I give them kudos for cleaning my machine! I have kept HijackThis and MalwareBytes Anti-Malware (free software that they ask you to download to help and they tell you how to use) on my machine since and run them ever so often to make sure my machine stays clean. You need to know what you are doing though to run those programs, so I am not suggesting that anyone use them without the help from those tech guys.
Good luck!
not to take away anything from your message, lfw045, but just be careful if you do click on these things.
Some of them will actually help you a lot, but at the same time, be adding extra cookies, bc their intention is to 'suck information' from your surfing habits.
I am on dial up and any extra cookies, slows my pc down.
Like I said in my first post. DO NOT RUN the two programs unless the techs from that site tell you to and give you the instructions for what they need to help you rid your machines for errors. I didn't nor did I have to click on anything. I read the message boards there and talked to the techs.
Sorry I confused everyone. It is easy to forget that everyone is not as computer literate and that is why I loved that site. They helped me when I had done everything I could to fix my computer.
My apologies. Lesson learned.
