Pleased for you, what did you actually get and do you need any other help.
When did you last empty your temp files etc and clean up.

This is excellent, you may safely check all boxes, but BE AWARE THAT IT WILL delete any saved passwords, for websites, it will NOT effect Windows passwords, nor your favourites or bookmarks.

This one is a Microsoft Security Scan and will highlight any deficiencies and tell you what to do

It does not evaluate your anti-virus.

This one is rather basic so please do not be insulted

Hi Macboatmaster, I will look at each of these web sites. Thanks to reading this site I have learned how to keep my computer clean. I use malwarebytes,avast and tfc. Last night was the first time I had opened the case and took a look around. I want to learn and understand what each component is and what it does. I'm a Grandmother but still enjoy learning.
Thanks for all your help. Fran
