I tried the Malwarebytes first - it found some viruses, but the same annoyances are still happening.

And now I’m getting another error message that persistantly won’t go away:

“Just-In-Time Debugging
An exception 'Runtime Error has occured in Script.
However, no debuggers are registered that can debug this exception. Unable to JIT debug.”

( post the logs here in this topic and not in the guide )

To avoid using multiple post with copy and paste you have to attach the log`s
Lower left corner: Additional Options > Attach ( OTS log ) save log as ANSI

Essexboy will look at the logs when he arrive here later today…
