Hello, I am Daniel Jackson with SG-1.

I am good with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, hieratic, cuneiform and Sumerian, but not so much with a laptop.

McAfee is super expensive. I need to completely remove it from my laptop then I would appreciate any suggestions you have for what is the best free antivirus I can use on my laptop.

Thanks very much in advance, and I realize your forum is extremely busy.

Hi, Daniel.
 
To make it easier for me to see what programs are installed in your system, please do the following:

Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop. --> IMPORTANT

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

If your antivirus software detects the tool as malicious, it’s safe to allow FRST to run. It is a false-positive detection.

If English is not your primary language, right click on FRST.exe/FRST64.exe and rename to FRSTEnglish.exe/FRST64English.exe

  • Double-click the FRST icon to run the tool. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press Scan button and wait for a while.
  • The scanner will produced two logs on your Desktop: FRST.txt and Addition.txt.
  • Please attach the content of these two logs in your next reply.
