Info :
Comodo dragon's Virtual mode is like a sandbox. It will leave a green square on it meaning it's safe. Whatever virus that tries entering the virtual comodo , Will infect nothing. Like if you were using a virtual machine. For downloads being able to be used in your real system , You must save those to " Shared files " At program data\Comodo Dragon\Shared Files

What exactly are you looking for on browsers?

my own recommendation: keep IE as a backup, use chrome and firefox or cyberfox instead

the others are just based on the basics.

Opera is the only exception.

Speed and memory usage.

Chromium-based and Internet Explorer are multi-process browsers and will therefore run more than 2 processes, when in use. They make the browser more stable and secure with it sandboxing techniques. Chromium-based perform better on modern hardware, else you may experience sluggish behaviour.

Good To Know: Installing a lot of Chrome Extensions will increase process and memory usage. So for the bare minimum -for the average user- an Ad-Blocker and a Password Manager. Try and avoid using Autofill and the browsers default password manager.

Keep IE11 for Windows 7 updated. Install another browser of your choice.

@Inkurax OP uses Windows 32-bit, so the full effect of Cyberfox may not be experienced.

How about Sleipnir, which uses the Blink engine (same as Chrome, Opera).

I must have missed out the architecture. My apologies. Replace Cyberfox with Firefox in my suggestion then.

Haven't looked at Sleipnir, thanks for the reference.

From one (still) recovering add-on-a-holic,:rolleyes: stick with the important core extensions including an add blocker, HTTPS Everywhere, and LastPass, to keep the Sleipnir amazing & fast!:cool:

Check what Windows Task Manager (ctrl+alt+del) shows is happening.

I guess i got it. It is loading said MSYOSYNC.exe over and over , It deletes itself and comes back , This causes it to keep loading it forever. I wonder if this is the legit one , Or if is some kind " Annoyware "

Really in need of help.
This is annoying me , Every single time the cursor loads , Except when i'm running 100% of the memory , As it cant use more than that.

Also , I cant find the FRST tool thing , So i'm really in need of help.

Elemec, after so much that has already been accomplished for your system in a single day (I realize yigido's guidance was very thorough) our quests for the complete & squeaky clean systems we desire evolves into a never ending story for each of us. Presently, you may feel the distinct need for rest for both yourself and your system.
When you are ready, you can begin a thread on our malware assistance forum where one of our can get to the bottom of this latest "Annoyware" problem (What a fitting term!:D).
I'd nearly forgotten this is, in fact, your extremely fascinating configuration thread!:p

The reason i need assistance , Is that FRST tool didnt work for me , Probably due to fact i'm not on safe mode.
But i remembered one thing. On old times , The way you remove viruses.
CMD.
Wish me luck
