About the same number of files scanned, but the last 2 days doing a quick scan on MSE now takes about 6 minutes; before it was just under 2 minutes. Only change - updated Adobe Flash Player.
Why is MSE is suddenly scanning much slower?

I think Adobe installed some extra things besides just updating the flash player. Here is a screen shot of the Adobe programs and the days they were installed. Is it safe to uninstall any without affecting the Flash Player?

If it is something you did not install yourself by all means uninstall.I think Adobe installed some extra things besides just updating the flash player. Here is a screen shot of the Adobe programs and the days they were installed. Is it safe to uninstall any without affecting the Flash Player?

I tired to update MalyareBytes a while ago, but it kept crashing my system, so I went back to the previous version I had, but I appreciate your pointing that out.

I don't download anything I don't absolutely need to. I am very careful about this and also opening emails from unknown sources. I desperately attempt to keep from getting an infection, but it seems the more I try, the more I seem to get one. Two months ago I spent a week on this message board with someone helping me clean my system. I even hesitate asking for help here since it always seems to necessitate downloading and installing software that I am not familiar with.

I would not use anything FileHippo related at all now as they of late foist a download manager much akin to the dross from Cnet. So a good chance you may infect a machine with unwanted third party adware type toolbars for example...
I did not know that, been a while since I used that software since I update everything manually, I will not be suggesting that anymore.

You might try uninstalling and reinstalling the program. That is what I would do .
