Hello,

There's one more scan to run called ESET on line scan and it takes a long time, don't wait for it, start the scan when you're done with the computer for the nite and let it run. Post the log later or tomorrow and I'll look at it. ESET will not delete anything and that's what we want for now. I'll look at the log and delete what might be necessary.

Thanks.  Will do. This says to use firefox or IE. Currently I use Google Chrome.  Is that ok or do i need to uninstall Chrome and install Firefox before proceeding?

 

Thanks again.

It looks as though you have Firefox according to the frst log.
 

FireFox:

Is Firefox in your start menu ? or even Internet explorer.

[Tamberine02]

I don't see it?.....

[zep516]

What about Internet explorer is that there ?

[Tamberine02]

Yes, but an older version that's not supported my much these days.  lol

[zep516]

OK.

You should have another functioning browser on the computer anyway. Lets download Firefox from Here

Pay attention as you're installing it, Firefox will probably ask "Do you want to make Firefox your default browser" in your case just choose no.

You do not need to uninstall Chrome either to do this.

[Tamberine02]

Actually Chrome works.  It has began loading. Thank you for your help and as you requested I will post the file tomorrow.

 

[zep516]

Post it to night if it happens to finish, I'm signing off, but will check in up until 11:00 or 11:30.

Hello,

Download Security Check by screen317 from Here or Here
Save it to your Desktop.
Double click SecurityCheck.exe and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt; please post the contents of that document.

NOTE: If SecurityCheck aborts and you get the following message: UNSUPPORTED OPERATING SYSTEM! ABORTED! try rebooting the system and then run SecurityCheck again.

Hello,

Security check looks good, except for Java....

Note
Due to multiple security problems with Java we are now recommending that it not be installed unless you absolutely know you need it.

How is the computer ?

[Tamberine02]

It's much better than it was but not quite as quick as my work computer when browsing.  What other factors may play a role in that?  Router?

 

Also, I'm thinking about changing from using Chrome to firefox...thoughts?

 

Thanks for all your help.

[zep516]

not quite as quick as my work computer when browsing. What other factors may play a role in that?

Hard for me to do a comparison when I don't know the other computer.

Your computer
Has a Celeron processor, It's a low budget processor lets face it.

Their performance is often significantly lower when compared to similar CPUs with higher-priced Intel CPU brands. For example, the Celeron brand will often have less cache memory, or have advanced features purposely disabled. These missing features can have a variable impact on performance, but is often very substantial.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celeron

You have 2Gigs of ram installed on a 64Bit computer, perhaps it came that way. Might consider adding more.
Most people upgrade from 32-bit computing to 64-bit computing to blow through the 4GB RAM limit on a 32Bit machine.

I have never used Chrome, but I spend quite a bit of time fixing it only because so many use it.

I use to run Firefox and never had an issue, but I keep my addons in the browser very limited. I got fed up with Firefox because of all the changes they kept making. I switched to Palemoon it looks just like Firefox. If Palemoon were to disappear I'd switch back to Firefox. I can't really say what the best browser is probably the one your most comfortable with using......

I'll keep this topic open for a few days, just to make sure things are running ok for you.
