        I suggest the following to increase privacy and security on the machine.

        Ublock Origin
        O&O Shutup Ten
        O&O App Buster




        Update your older programs with Patch My PC home Edition.




        We will clean all the tools we used…

        Download KpRM
        Save to Desktop
        Check Delete Tools’
        Check Delete Restore points.
        Create Restore point.
        Click delete quarantines.
        Then click run.
