    Hi, and many thanks for information already provided in Read Me First. I have completed this and hope i didnt make mistakes. The vav in several directories was found and everything else seems to be running very well, but my desktop is messed up and acting like a web page that doesnt load. Several icons are overlapped and it is not taking any changes in settings. Here are what I hope are helpful logs. Thanks in advance for so much of your time and help.

    What are you using for anti-virus protection? It appears as though you once had McAfee...

    Right click the desktop / properties / desktop / web ...and make sure there is nothing checked there.

    What malware issues are you still having?

    Thanks, I didnt know where to look to change that setting....I did have mcafee but its dead to me now. I will never go back.

    I was going to look at what your experts suggest as far as virus protection. Should I uninstall all the spy stuff I installed as requested by the Read Me FIrst? Did I get all the malware out?

    Java doesnt seem to want to install properly so I was considering redownloading that file. Other than that, I dont think anything is wrong.....maybe.

    Right click the desktop ...left click properties ....click on desktop tab.....click on the web tab ...there are two boxes there ---> make sure neither are checked and the only thing in the settings is: My current home page.

    You should work thru the below link:
    How to Protect yourself from malware!

    Install one anti-virus program ....keep MalwareBytes. We will do some clean up once you have done this.
