Hi, Mr. essexboy, thanks for helping me with my dilemma.
Is Avast working nowNo, sorry to say, Avast still says its service is stopped.
Did you knowingly install JdownloaderMatter of fact I tried installing it like 3 or 4 days ago - was having the darnest time with it too, it just wouldn't install properly on my Windows 7, so I uninstalled it and chucked that bad idea out of my head. I guess it's a residue of it maybe, then ?
Side note, I use Firefox, I don't like Internet Explorer, but have been considering more and more using Google Chrome. Your opinion matters since I want the better protection against infections, so, - should I switch to Chrome or is Firefox just as reliable ?
There appeared a first text file from OTL upon Reboot which I am sending along with the Quick Scan you asked me to do after the Reboot.
Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button.I just double checked with my Avast once more, the FIX NOW button still did not start Avast. Tried a right click to enable all shields (7 disabled) unsuccessfully. Task-bar message to solve PC issue - Virus Protection (Important) Turn On Now button could not start them either.
Not really crying over here, not really worried since you seem to have my back ! Just wanting to make your day a little brighter with a little funny - so take this
I did uninstall Jdownloader but I just noticed it's still in my C:\Program Files (x86)\JDownloader
I just looked in my control panel and Jdownloader is not there, though.
Not gonna do it unless I am advised, of course, but eventually that JDownloader folder will have to be deleted - but I will wait for confirmation before I do anything else !
