Hi,

I recently tried to defrag my drives and everytime that I do I get a message saying "Defragmenter could not start". I tried to scan for viruses and found none. I also spent money on RegCure and it is not helping. I finally tried to system restore, but now that is not working. Finally I noticed that my browser will takes me to random pages that are not what I select. Can anyone help me? I am currently running Malewarebytes to see if that will solve the problem but I am gonna start to go broke buying things that are not helping.

Registry cleaners are dangerous programs for an untrained user to utilize(although experts prefer to do the work without the aid of these programs)... Please read this Blog from one of our Experts here. These programs can cause more problems and crash your computer better than help...

Follow what Rshaffer61 said as this is also a likely problem from my point of view...

I just wanted to give you that caution...

Good luck
