Opera requires windows 7 or later. If you could, post the mini tool box log, so I can see what is going on with your connection.

Thanks. My comp is rather old. im going to see if the opera download works first. 2 downloads at once might lock me up.

Ok, we can work on speeding it up a bit. There is no reason that is should take more than ten minutes even with 5mbs

How can we speed it up? Its still downloading or at least i assume it is. The number 2 circle is still pulsating.

And thanks for everyone’s help.

Stop the download. Reboot the computer,

Please download the FRST 32 bit or FRST 64bit version to suit your operating system. It is important FRST is downloaded to your desktop.
If you are unsure if your operating system is 32 or 64 Bit please go HERE.
Once downloaded right click the FRST desktop icon and select “Run as administrator” from the menu"
If you receive any security warnings, or the User Account Control warning opens at any time whilst using FRST you can safely allow FRST to proceed.
FRST will open with two dialogue boxes, accept the disclaimer.
Then select Scan
Frst will take a few minutes to scan your computer, and when finished will produce two log files on your desktop, FRST.txt, and Addition.txt. They will display immediately on the desktop, but can be reopened later as a notepad file.
Please Attach the contents of these logs in your next post for review by our Security Team

I am so frustrated. I clicked on the adcleaner and a file comes up. when i click on that a black box with a prompt appears but then disappears immediately and im left with a blank screen

[jxdama]

32bit says update failed and 64 bit says not compatible. A box popped up and i hit scan and its scanning somthing

[jxdama]

It didnt download to my computer but a box appeared saying “tool ready to use”. thats when i hit scan and its scanning

Ok, two logs will appear when they are done. Copy and paste them here when done. We can skip adware cleaner for now.

my comp locked up. i will try again. it didnt finish

[Malnutrition]

Ok.[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]If it locks up again, just uninstall AVAST that way it will free up some memory, you can reinstall it after we are done here. Plus, there are other tools we can use, we can get that computer running great by the time we are done here. [/COLOR]

As far as adware cleaner, you can open command prompt and copy and paste the following, this will place adware cleaner on your desktop where it was designed to run from.

move %userprofile%\Downloads\adwcleaner.exe "%userprofile%\desktop

To open command prompt hit the windows key [ATTACH type=“full”]11004[/ATTACH] and R at the same time and type cmd into the run prompt.

[ATTACH type=“full”]11005[/ATTACH]

Then hit OK.
