LOL... TRUE, you DO have to know what to remove or you can end up removing system stuff/shared components - BAD idea. the scan will be a useful tool for most.

Btw, i had a terrible experience with Adaware... i had *ALL KINDS* of creepy crawlies get into my pc. spent a weekend removing them, one at a time manually... monitoring processes, picking through my entire disk and my registry *UGH!!!* that was several years ago - i don't know if it is any better now but i certainly won't go near it again.

i have used only AVG for several years now and it has been good to me.

We scanned the computer for old versions of java and there were not any. Then we installed java which was easy after disabling the firewall.
I then ran the speed test and it says it is running at almost 10 which is what we pay for so that is right.
thank you for your assistance and patience with me. Fortunately it was easy to do and not hard at all.
