I am being attacked by adware and I can't find the source, Avast and Malwarebytes don't find anything. It is interfering with my ability to write political rants on FB!
![]() It seems like it started after a Windows update but am not sure. I read the sticky here and MrsD mentioned old Java's as a possible source, I have 3 on my computer but I get confused because I have 32 bit and 64 bit ones and I don't know if I should delete any. I also found a flash update from few days ago which is about the time I started going down hill. I thought it was Firefox and refreshed it, mistake and did not work. Should I look up running processes one by one, I can't always tell what is going on there. I think I am going to call the little IT guys where I got the computer and ask if I can put on Windows 10 on this one and if they can fix it if I screw something up. How hard is it to do, do I need product code or administrator pass word the latter of which I should know but forgot, they know it. Will my malware go with me? Any advice appreciated in case I decide to dither around for awhile and not do it yet. |
