[QUOTE="alWduk, post: 152942, member: 17966"] That's good news! Since I have the avast scan results after I uninstalled BD on both computers and both these are clean, and then ran the series you recommended with negative results I am feeling much more confident than before. The greatest problem among many I have seen over the last 6 weeks or so was the sudden appearance of msg from MS that my w 7 program was counterfeit! I got warnings that what was left had been demoted to not perform as it should. I finally tried to rerun the product key (the same one on the package that worked about 2 months before) and got w 7 seeming to be like it was. I received a number of intermittent loss of connections to the internet on both computers something like can't access the proxy server on both firefox and ie 11. This problem seems to have cleared within the last week. Yesterday, an encrypted file I have used hundreds of times was corrupted and could not be opened. I don't know if I have ever seen these before. Over the last 6 weeks, other examples. I had lost confidence in my comps and network. (I have seen security reports on my router that the unit can be hacked easily from the internet, and this seems to include a number of recent router manufacturers.) I saw that after running avast, BD picked up maleware in folder(s) labelled avast? When I uninstalled avast, the BD scan didn't show these in the report. And still I have a very large number of files that are password protected. Many of these are hidden files in my download folder labelled as flashplayer files. I feel quite a lot more comfortable than I had, but still hard to understand all that has been happening. Sorry for the long note, but to try to answer your question. Thanks for your help. For the present, I have decided to run the free avast product with BD installed. I plan on completing the scan series on my other computer and submit that too. [/QUOTE]
