OK, Boggin,
I will keep Malware bytes on your suggestion.
Speaking of which there were threats discovered overnight, below; I quarantined them.
Can you tell me how it works. License is not activated and yet it did a scan without my asking overnight. So, that must means it works in real time, maybe?
Is there a way to stop the nagging update message? I remember once before I did subscribe (prolly on another machine) and it began nagging about all kinds of other products they have --- about 5 different things. It never stopped so I un-installed it.
So, what it the difference between a malicious item and a threat?
So, we should quarantine both --- all the time? When not to do that.
BTW, I stopped using IE many years ago. IE let so much bad stuff on my other machine. Nagging me, etc. At least once a virus which messed up my machine. It was a new machine and Dell fixed it and told me not to use it. There were many articles about IE being bad, so I stopped all togehr using it in all machine.
But, now, some program will call it up even though I have Opera as my default. I never had trouble with Opera and it is faster.
I had problems similar to IE with Firefox also, but I use it as my alternate only when some broadcast program like TOTOMEETING does not work with Opera. What about Safari? How is that. I do not like Chrome due to the nature of the Google corporation. IMO, a bad company that does things behind your back.

===========
There was one more thing overnight: Windows update happened and it wants me to reboot to complete now. I thought I choose "notify me but do not install". But, it updated anyway.
I have posed the update history below. Can you have a look to see it all is good with that update?
I will reboot in safe mode and do what you asked in one of you last posts, now.
But I am unsure of how to do this. Is this permissions repair with the MS WINDOWS7 SP1 release disc:
"Boot up into Safe Mode with Networking and open Windows Repair and run just the Permissions repairs to see if that puts things right.
See if you can still perform a sfc /scannow from the Users cmd prompt after the reboot."
