You are on the right track. Please do the following in this order:
-
Uninstall SB w/TT per the vendor’s instructions I gave you and reboot.
-
Run CCleaner to get rid of the crap on your machine before you go any further. Also run the registry cleaner. If you feel uncomfortable with the fix (since you uninstalled SB, there will be a fix), make a back up in Documents and keep it for about a week until you know everything is fine.
3… Download and install MBAM. Make sure you update it prior to doing a scan…you will always need to update prior to scanning to make sure you have the most up to date definitions. Should any infection appear, make sure you put it into quarantine (do not delete it or take no action). Quarantine is similar to the Avast Virus Chest. If MBAM asks you to reboot your machine, do so. If any infection is found, please cut and paste your MBAM log into your next post so I can review it.
- Download and install Puran, which is more thorough than the Windows defrag. Each drive will appear and need to be defragged separately. I would do your H-drive last since this appears to be your problematic drive. Once you are done with your regular defrag with Puran, there is an option under Boot-time defrag in Puran to select “Restart-Defrag-Restart-Disk+Check.” Select this option. The amount of time depends on how much you have on your machine and when it was last defragged. It will reboot probably twice, and yes it will take a longer.
Let me know how things work out after doing the above. We’re here to help you with everything.
