Solved Browsers Crash, Executable files stall or crash

Sorry, you mentioned paid antivirus as well. If you are going to pay, then these two are hands down the better choice IMO. Both have firewalls as well.

Emsisoft
Eset

Would you now consider this thread as solved?

Almost .... if you could answer the following that would be appreciated.

Which software should be run periodically to prevent malware? Malwarebytes + Adware Cleaner + JRT + ZHP Cleaner?
Also, which backup or imaging software would you recommend? I currently use AOMEI Backupper

Which software should be run periodically to prevent malware? Malwarebytes + Adware Cleaner + JRT + ZHP Cleaner?

Malwarebytes & Zemana, you should run once a week, or alternate say malwarebytes week one and Zemana Week two. As far as JRT ZHP cleaner, you should run a sweep with those once or twice a month.

Also, which backup or imaging software would you recommend? I currently use AOMEI Backupper

AOMEI Backupper is just fine, one that is highly suggested in many forums.

Not only was the malware removed but my 8 year old laptop runs like new. Something I only thought possible with a factory reset & OS reinstall.
In the process, I learned a lot about malware removal & got great maintenance tips.
I think I just attended Mal U ( Malware University )

Thanks to jmarket for getting the ball rolling and to malnutrition for excellent results in a timely fashion.
