banjodeano   31 #73 Posted December 31, 2012 That's got them. How's it running now? Give it a quick scan with Malwarebytes. Uncheck the offer of the free trial of Malwarebytes Anti-malware PRO at the end of the installation.  http://helpdesk.malwarebytes.org/entries/20839693-where-can-i-download-the-latest-version-of-malwarebytes-anti-malware  http://helpdesk.malwarebytes.org/entries/20840058-how-do-i-install-malwarebytes-anti-malware  http://helpdesk.malwarebytes.org/entries/20863072-how-to-run-a-quick-scan  Thanks waddle.....especially for having the patience when others would have given up..!! I currently have superantispyware on the laptop, and i always thought it was okay...would you replace it with the ones above.? does it run continuous, or just when you want to do a scan..?  Yeah the lappy seems to be running great, but will not connect to internet wirelessly,and with cable it is hit and miss.......i will reboot it and see what its like... thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
waddler8 Â Â 10 #74 Posted December 31, 2012 It doesn't run "continuous" (be sure to uncheck the free trial of the pro version) Â You can have it installed as well as SAS. I prefer mbam to SAS personally, but there's nothing wrong with SAS. Â Run mbam and then we'll troubleshoot the wireless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

waddler8   10 #76 Posted December 31, 2012 Okay, downloaded it and ran it...found four bugs, i deleted them and rebooted...Post the log. You'll find it under the logs tab when you open the program. Highlight it and click open. Then go > start > Control panel > Network Connections > right click your wireless connection and choose repair.
