I ran Delfix and the transparent icons are gone from the desktop. :slight_smile:

Cryptoprevent is different from the screenshot you posted. I have an additional option that says - Protect %userprofile% / %programdata% / Startup Folder
Should I check that box also? Does this run in the background or is it something I need to initiate regularly? What does this tool do exactly?

I have Malwarbytes on my computer from 2012. Should I uninstall and re-install a new version? Obviously I didn’t run it regularly or wouldn’t have gotten a virus. ::slight_smile: I will run it regularly.

Right now Avast! and MSE are running in the taskbar, is this acceptable or will they conflict?

I Need help with updating Java. The install security updates was incomplete. Tried to look at help files and I do not know what to do. Maybe you can direct me to a download link? Windows Vista Home Premium Service pack 2 32-bit OS

Thanks for all your help! I will be recommending avast! to friends & family.
Sincere Thanx, Virginia
