What I will do now is give the little spiel on how my system is set up

How to set up a reasonable and light security regime for your system. Apart from the Antivirus and cryptoprevent all other elements are install and forget.

DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL ANTIVIRUS

Download Avast - direct link Avast 2015

Select Custom install
Remove the ticks from the first page for the following unless you want them :

Dropbox
Chrome
Chrome toolbar

Select Next
Deselect the following from the middle column as you will not need them :

SecureLine
Grimefighter

Select Continue and allow the programme to install

Be aware that the first reboot may take a few minutes as Avast builds the virtual machine

Avast will need to be registered as this helps them determine the server load, as updates are downloaded in small bursts every few minutes each is about 2Kb

How to register



Once registered open Avast
Go to Settings > General
Place a tick in "Scan for Potentially Unwanted Programmes (PUP's) "



PROTECT AGAINST RANSOMEWARE

CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware.
Manually update monthly



PROTECT AGAINST UNWANTED BUNDLED SOFTWARE

Unchecky

Click on the link above to be taken to Unchecky.com
click the very large Download button.
click Save
Click Open folder
Right click on the Unchecky_setup and choose to Run as Administrator
Once open click the Install button.
Then click on Finish

Unchecky is now installed and will help you keep unwanted check boxes unchecked, this is a fire and forget programme

IF YOU USE USB DRIVES

Download MCShield to your desktop and install
It will initially run a scan and show the result as a toaster by the system clock
Then in the control centre select scanner and tick unhide items on flash drives

Plug in the drive and McShield will start a scan

CShield AllScans.txt <<<

-----------------------------




MCShield ::Anti-Malware Tool:: http://www.mcshield.net/

>>> v 3.0.5.28 / DB: 2015.2.1.1 / Windows 7 <<<


2/2/2015 7:50:54 PM > Drive C: - scan started (OS ~920 GB, NTFS HDD )...



=> The drive is clean.


2/2/2015 7:50:55 PM > Drive D: - scan started (HP_RECOVERY ~12 GB, NTFS HDD )...



=> The drive is clean.

You are now about as secure as you can be especially against ransomeware

Lets now check your software status

Download Security Check 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.

Well your Java is outdated so we will fix that


WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article

I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)

If you do need to keep Java then download JavaRa
Run the programme and select Remove Java Runtime. Uninstall all versions of Java present
Once done then run it again and select Update Java runtime > Download and install Latest version


Also your UAC is disabled we will reset that as it is a good security backup where windows will ask your permission before programmes install


Open User Account Control Settings by clicking the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel.
In the search box, type uac, and then click Change User Account Control settings.

To turn on UAC, move the slider to choose when you want to be notified, and then click OK. Administrator permission required If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Use the default setting as shown


Use your other drives now and let me know of any other problems before I tidy up

[leahcase]

I have done everything you have had ask me to do .....please give me some time to ck these out..

[Essexboy]

For sure

[leahcase]

it seems to be running much better... is there  a program that I can used to unzip ..thank you for all of your help..

[Essexboy]

Windows 7 has its own progamme although it will not do RAR files
I use Peazip. There is a direct link below.

http://sourceforge.n...WS.exe/download

Remove tools

Download and run Delfix



It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.
