P.S. At the beginning of the process a little pic came up on the black screen of Security check, which said: 

 

Line - 1:  Error: Variable must be of type "Object".

 

I clicked 'ok' and then it continued.

Where's the Anti virus program we started with ? You had Microsoft Security essentials installed, now I don't see.

Lets install it immediately. It's a good one, I use it.

Download it from here ---> http://windows.micro...ntials-download

Let me know when that is done, more up dating to do after that.

Thanks
Joe :)

Tried to do it, but getting the message, during installation:

 

"MSE is already installed.  Ony one copy of MSE can ....

 

And when I go to 'Control Panel' and then 'Uninstall Programs', I can find it.

 

Thanks, J.

No, there is something that looks like a house and is brown.

When I move over it with my curser, it says:

 

PC status: Potentially unprotected

 

Thanks J

Aha, I clicked on it and it is MSE. I guess the reason it is brown is because it says I haven't run it of a while

Right click on (something that looks like a house and is brown. ) and choose open, see if you can do that, if so perform a scan.

Mine turns red about once a week and I right click on it and do a scan, after scan it turns green.

Good, it will turn green after that.

Let me know.

Then we will up date adobe, and Chrome, and I'll talk to you about Java, that is also out of date. Almost done here...

House is green, everyone in the house is protected then. Congratulations :)

Time to up-Date.

1st
Out of date Adobe Reader installed!

Your Adobe reader needs updating. You should ensure you use the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader and install any security updates that are released. You can download the latest reader and updates from here.
Note Important: Please uncheck any optional offers before downloading. This is what users do, they forget to un-check the optional installs, don't just click the download button take your time and look at the page, un-check then download. This particular page tries to install McAfee Scanner, so un-check it, then click download.

2nd
Your Chrome browser is out of date
Please read Here for full up dating information reguarding the Chrome Browser.

3rd
Your Java is out of date:

Note
Due to multiple security problems with Java we are now recommending that it not be installed unless you absolutely know you need it.
I would uninstall it from the programs an Features menu anything called Java. Start > Control Panel > Programs & Features, uninstall all Java.

Thanks
Joe :)

Hi

 

went to

 

Start > Control Panel > Programs & Features,

 

but could not find anything with Java.

Then clicked on IObit uninstaller, since it is listing things alphabetically and equally, no Java files were found. And I don't need it here anyway.

 

Downloaded Chrome, and at the beginning of the installation it said that I need to download some Microsoft things first.

But don't know what.

 

The Adobe site seems to be down right now.

 

Thanks J.
