Also I have the basic free avast protection and some reason avast will pop up on its own saying it found a infection but when I look at the history for scan its says no infection and the chest comes up empty so then I run a scan and nothing I’m clean so I am sure its masking it self and avast is detecting it secret activity. I ran a full scan as I was typing this and nothing. PLS PLS HELP ME. I will download any and all programs that will freeze dig and dig this thing out and get rid of it. its 10:40 here and will be leaving around noon if I don’t hear from anyone will be back tonight be 8pm.

Srry for being a few days late but the only driver at that website is for a windows 8 but I have windows 7. But the driver all looks the same just a newer version of it. Will it be ok if I install it?
You should be able to find the latest drivers here:

KK when I install is do I need to delete anything so it don’t interfere with any old files?
No it should clean up behind it
