Here are two great programs to keep your pc running smoothly.Use these on your own DO NOT post any logs created by them here. Just remember to update them prior to use.Also stop them from auto loading with ccleaner, after installing them.If you feel they find a suspicious item.Start a thread here. http://www.geekstogo...alware-removal/ Program links below.I use these on my pc once a week.

Start up is quicker, access to the net is still hanging. Not really sure what causes that.

One last question, should i delete all of the programs used to carry this out?

Also the two programs will not work, When i click on them i get the internet explorer cannot display page?

No you can keep them or delete them the choice is yours but you should run tfc.exe once a week if you keep one that should be the one you keep.Also you can set ccleaner to run at startup if you wish.Open Ccleaner hit options setting then put a check next to run ccleaner when the computer starts Then under advanced close program after cleaning.

You mean when downloading right?Save them to your desktop and install them whenever you want.Just make sure you update them whenever you run them like I said do not post the logs here these programs are for your personal use.If they find something suspicious to you start a thread here. I use them once a week to keep my pc running smoothly.

Just on a side note you can download autoruns and run then delete any entry that reads file not found.Reboot after doing so.
