4. My computer is a mess
Sat Dec 14, 2013, 01:27 AM

Somehow I got malware that one at least Malwarebytes found most of the files, but I think there's still at least one other hiding somewhere. I just a few minutes ago realized that something is blocking my Windows updates, and I don't dare reboot since that's exactly how the crap re-intalls itself or there's another one that's doing it that nothing I've used is finding it all. And yes, all this time the firewall has been on... at least it SAYS it is.

This is a nightmare. I've spent most of my time in safe mode today trying to fix this since whatever this thing or THINGS are doing are lowing down my computer to a crawl so that most things won't open whethr the internet or programs or all the other Windows stuff like Control Panel, Add/Remove Software, Windows Explorer, et., or they won't stay open or running and freeze up so that it's almost impossible to close them.
