[QUOTE="Petri Kalervo, post: 407147, member: 37566"] So, you did it. Thank you. Firefox treated me as a newcomer, asking me to open an account there. I guess that was to be expected. YAC was already uninstalled. I don't remember ever installing it. I noticed names like F-Secure during your operations, that were uninstalled years ago. And many mysterious names. Anyway, there is more space now on my hard disk, thank you. Do you think my six year old PC would profit from some other form of maintenance? I never did any. Last night (not anymore) Google warned me twice when I logged in to gmail that an intruder has logged on my account. Why was that? Another collateral from the clean-ups? Question 3: I only have Antivirus protection. Had I avoided my troubles if I had internet security? On your pages McAfee seems not be popular. I abandoned Avast because an important update made it check up YouTube music so thoroughly that the continuity of video was shattered. Which kind of tool had prevented V9, Ask, Portaldo etc from hijacking my browser? Question 4: Can it be that Adobe update was the reason this time? Or is this the price I have to pay for hearing for free music, like my beloved Top-20 hits from around 1960? I've never copied music in my computer, only listen to on-line. Is even that a security risk? When the hijacking occurred, I only was in contact to the net by accepting that update and singing with Emeli Sande for a while. When I don't need the net, I physically disconnect the modem. Under usual circumstances I'm connected twice per week for a couple of hours. I've never opened any of the publicity side windows, clicked You Tube comments etc. I guess I'm more cautious than 95% of users, yet I seem to be the only one among my friends who is attracting PUP's!
