Elizabeth23;
It's been some time since I submitted a post, especially since I downloaded Junk File Remover, adwcleaner, and Malwarebytes with Rootkit (a beta version). I basically run this software (CCleaner, Rkill, Adwcleaner, and Malwarebytes) before doing anything. I have also added another program called Zookaware as a secondary clean-up tool. I also installed a program called TFC which deletes Junk files and residual junk files.
However, there is one concern. I received a notification that there was a newer version of AdwCleaner. Thus, when I downloaded the newer version and opened it, I immediately get an error message saying that AdwCleaner has encountered a problem and had to shut down.
To hopefully counter this problem, I removed the program from the ADD/Remove list in Control Panel and any files still hanging around in the Registry. Yet in spite of these efforts, I am still receiving the same error message after each new install.
One last thing. You may not remember but in my last post, I mentioned that I was getting an excessive amount of temp. files and cache files each time I accessed I.E.8 or Firefox. I also reviewed the article(s) you or JoJo attached to your reply about these temp. files being necessary in order for I.E.8 or Firefox to operate properly.
Well, I don't want to be a stick in the mud, but I simply cannot believe that after accessing a webpage-either through I.E.8 or Firefox for just a moment or so that afterwards I could have accumulated over 600 to 1,000 Temp.files plus an excessive amount of cache files. I simply cannot believe Windows I.E.8 or Firefox needs to access and install that many Temp.files.
If it wasn't for CCleaner I don't know what I would do since I have to clean all those temp. and cache files after logging off the internet. This huge collection of temp. files also bogs down my system to the point that my CPU constantly runs at 100-percent.
I know my processor and system is not the fastest in the world, but no matter what I try, my system frequently freezes up because of I.E. 8 or Firefox.
