Thank you for the helpful response.
Followed your instructions.
Deleted temp files in Java
Went into program folders and deleted all but lastest update ver.8.
Went to add remove programs and deleted ver. 4.
Should I delete ver. 6?
Restarted and logged on to safe mode and ran AVG scan and came up no
virus!!!!!!!!!!!
Seems like you were right on target and I can't thank you enough.
Don't want to wear out my welcome but when I ran the scan I noticed a couple
oddities.
Kernel 32 .dll
Shell 32 .dll both showed change rather than ok.
Partition table [MBR]
Boot Sector of disk both showed reading error
Not trying to push my luck just wanted to make sure everything is ok with my
system.
Again
Thank you very much. People like you make this forum worthwile.
