[QUOTE="DomC, post: 501812, member: 51841"] I have tried adware cleaner and r kill and they failed. I've done a bunch of things to try to fix it on my own and I basically have been unsuccessful and probably made it worse. Initially my son added ghostery and Google analytics opt out add ins and avast premier free trial with their browser in it. We never used the browser. However and he clicked on something and it was a zip file and then downloaded win zip. After this there was a gray chrome mimicking icon in the Taskbar I went to Uninstall it and win zip it failed. Then I right clicked on them to delete them and it had undo delete where it should have said delete in the right click menu. Also add a bunch of files of 20 or 30 character names with random letters and numbers in it in temp file. Had a folder called Low with another folder in it I forgot the name. But windows update folder was in that. I got dban and did a quick erase and reloaded windows 7 but it loaded really fast like 30 min or so and it said installing updates as it was loading. Weird. OK so it gets done and I hit update windows and it just spins and spins and never finds a single update. 4 months ago I reloaded the windows on it and it was a several hr process with 400 updates. Also it automatically created a home group Internet connection. Usually I have to manually go through the steps. OK so my son added ghostery again and the Google opt out add in and avast premier trial again. Not realizing the browser may be the issue. Again never used the browser. Could not update windows again. Tried Internet troubleshooter nothing then network troubleshooter said Internet has issues run that troubleshooter which again found nothing. The fix it troubleshooter fixed several things but still couldn't update. Dowmloaded adware cleaner I kept getting messages that I was using an older version of adware basically it wouldn't run and after the third time it ran and found nothing. I also ran r kill and it found nothing. I got mad and used dban last night to do a dept of Defense 7pass erase of hard drive with Internet cable disconnected. So that's where it is now.
