    Absolutely. You're the best Mal! I truly appreciate you and this community. I'd love to make a donation but i'd prefer to use crypto - does PCHF have a bitcoin/crypto wallet I can send some coins to? :)

    Solved Please help - machine has slowed to a snails pace

    These items were not on the list in HijackThis. ^^^ The HiJackThis.log below was recorded before fixing the suggested items. Startup was much quicker. Overall things are faster but suboptimal, lagging to open up programs or dialog boxes. Even typing this the text is lagging slightly.

    Solved Can't open Command Prompt & Other issue

    Thank you Mal! Now the boot up was much slower than usual. I also can't use the search bar, snipping tool, & when I hit power in the start menu it doesn't pull up any of the options. I have not run the repair install yet.
