Happy New Years to all. To Pat Cooke, thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Paul Thurott's guide worked well for me. I was able to register/unlock Win7 using the Second Option. Thank you all for your help.

I am unable to find my original post...davidhk129 replied to me and I followed the instructions provided for activation of Windows7. After spending much time on the telephone with MS support (blah). I am still unable to activate. I know the problems lies with my trying to activate my Win7 Pro...

I have a netbook that originally had XP installed. I upgraded to Win7 and experienced no problems. Thought I would try Linux Ubuntu...too much for me. Had to download Gparted to slick disk. Worked well, reinstalled Win7 using a legally purchased upgrade disk...no probs until activation time...

Badrobot, Pauli, and Strollin. thank you for your inputs. I am the only one in the household using a PC. I am using a WPA Wireless Network Key...Not sure what my connection speed is. Using a Realtek 11n USB adapter to communicate with the Router. The USB Adapter utility is showing me...

I watch a great deal of Netflix on my PC. I have noticed lately that while watching a program a great deal of buffering goes on. I run Auslogics defragmenter. Does disk fragmentation have anything to do with my issue? I must connect to a VPN as i live in a country where Netflix is not supported...

I checked the link and made the comparisons. I have opted for the Pro version...maybe because I am lazy. I did indeed Google the PUP.DealPly malicious software. From the descriptions provided for this Malware, I am really glad that I came back to WindowsForums to get some good answers. I've...

Came back to the group in order to gain more knowledge.

Truly appreciate your input Mike. I do have AVG Anti-virus, Free Version installed. This is my home PC, I don't bring any of my work home with me. I work for the US Navy, civilian, not active duty Military. Therefore bringing work home is not an option. Tight security regulations etc. The...

Great information, thank you. Yes, I am using the trial version of Malwarebytes...I will check out your suggestion as this PC is not used for work. I also found the Adblocker (free) for IE10 at Cnet.com downloads. I was at first wary of downloading...it seems that I have recently had some bad...

David, thanks so much. 1&2. I now have the old MyMSN back with all of the same properties. I am indeed running IE10. I unchecked the box for auto download of newest browser though. 3. You are correct I was unclear on my explanation. I used the malwarebytes to remove malware, I then went into...

Not sure what is going on here. I had firefox running and suddenly this browser has taken a turn for the worse...adverts up the ying yang. Now it appears I have lost functionality of Windows IE9 browser. Browser says I have IE10 installed...I hit the home icon and I am taken to Firefox. What...

Not sure if I am in the correct forum for this question but, please indulge me. I use a VPN for downloading Netflix as I live in Japan and this bloody country has not allowed free downloading of Netflix from the US. Anyway, I have found lately that after about 20 minutes of viewing the monitor...

I was unable to access safe mode for one reason or another...i tried a reboot, pressing F8 with negative results...i went into the registry as you recommended. I was able to find the culprit in both places, HKEY_Local and HKEY_Current...deleted the Keys calleld Fighters under Software. Upon...

I tried the VIPRE Rescue Scanner. The program found 3 trojans but still has not caught "Fighters" This is how "slowPC Fighter" is listed in All Programs Menu. I try deleting in the normal fashion and nada. I don't want to slick my drive and start all over again. I don't have great deal of data...

I have a pesky program that i am trying to get rid of...the entire trail. Slow PCFighter is the culprit. I should have known better than downloading this trogan horse. Have googled various sites to determine how to get rid of all these files. I have yet to come up with a solution. Any ideas out...
