Looks clean. I would advise uninstalling s&d as it is duplicating both MBAM and Avast

CAUTION : This fix is only valid for this specific machine, using it on another may break your computer

Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

CreateRestorePoint: RemoveProxy: EmptyTemp: CMD: bitsadmin /reset /allusers

Save this as fixlist.txt, in the same location as FRST.exe

Run FRST and press Fix
On completion a log will be generated please post that

Any difference ?

system · 2015-10-20T02:11:22.000Z

Not so much…
Is there any way to stop script from running? When laptop sticks, I get the sign to “Stop Script”, which I click the button, but even then it takes a bit .

Initially reset IE11 and see if that helps
If it does not we will use a small programme to do some repairs

Go Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced tab

system · 2015-10-20T22:25:36.000Z

Well I reset, and everything looks good so far. No freezing or sluggishness.
I noticed in your picture, you had a check mark by the “Accelerated Graphics.”
It’s not checked on my options. Should it be?

essexboy · 2015-10-21T13:32:33.000Z

Sometimes yes and sometimes no It can work for some systems so might be worth trying, you can always disable again

system · 2015-10-21T15:48:00.000Z

Uh oh, seems my computer is still freezing, and I’m still getting “Stop Script” & “The webpage is not responding” messages.
NOT FREEZING AS MUCH…but still freezing.

When I reboot the laptop, I keep pressing F8 to get to the black screen that “usually” gives you choice of SAFE MODE - but when I do that, and the black screen appears, the only 2 choices given me are:
Windows 7
System Restore

The words SAFE MODE are nowhere. I’m confused.

essexboy · 2015-10-22T21:06:58.000Z

OK run it from normal mode and all should be well for the repairs we are doing

system · 2015-10-22T22:27:49.000Z

I ran the program. I just wanted to let you know the pictures where a great help!
Thank you!
I am attaching the Tweaking Pre-Scan

essexboy · 2015-10-23T11:38:04.000Z

OK now a matter of waiting to see if that has repaired it

system · 2015-10-23T19:40:07.000Z

Computer still freezing with the message “Stop Script” button for me to push. Then it takes about a minute for everything to get going again.

essexboy · 2015-10-23T20:02:01.000Z

Does this happen on a specific site ?

Could you try Firefox and see how that behaves

system · 2015-10-28T03:09:00.000Z

My apologies for my delayed reply. Something was wrong with my At&T internet service, and I couldn’t connect to the internet for 4 days. I’m back now
Anyways, I downloaded Firefox and was in the process of install, when it froze up when trying to move bookmarks, cookies, etc. (because I put firefox as my default browser, and it was moving info from internet explorer to firefox). It was the IMPORT WIZARD that froze. The top of the little window said, Import Wizard not Responding.
I tried to X it out, but it wouldn’t do anything. So I tried to restart my computer. It got stuck on “Shutting Off”. It was taking up to about 15 minutes; so I finally removed the battery from my laptop and the electrical cord. I replaced them and clicked the StartUp button, and my laptop started up.
Since Firefox froze as well; to me it sounds like something isn’t working right in my computer (laptop) - but only you would know that…not me

essexboy · 2015-10-28T15:14:01.000Z

It is starting to sound like a RAM problem as you only have 2 GB it may be worth upgrading to 4 GB

Could you go to control panel > internet options > advanced tab
Then reset IE and reboot… Any change

system · 2015-10-29T03:57:28.000Z

I did as you said and reset IE and rebooted laptop.
Laptop still freezes. I was on twitter for a while and computer did okay; but then tonight while on twitter, I clicked on a page to look at and it did not take me to the page…after a minute or so, at the bottom of my screen a message came up:
“Twitter is not responding due to a long running script.”
There was a button to click: Stop Script - so I clicked it. Still nothing happened. I clicked it again and at the very top left of my IE screen, it read:
“Twitter - Internet Explorer provided by Yahoo (Not Responding)”
I then clicked the X button at top right of screen to close the page. I had to click it a few times before IE finally closed.

I still have the following on my desktop:
FRST, tweaking.com_windows_repair_aio_setup, and Tweaking.com - Windows Repair

Did you manage to install Firefox ? I believe we are looking at a system problem here as opposed to anything else
