Welcome to the forums! Lets start dealing with your firewall and update issues

Download and Install Combofix 
 
Download ComboFix from one of the following locations: 
Link 1  
Link 2  
 
VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop  
 
* IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here  

• Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
• Accept the disclaimer and allow to update if it asks
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• When finished, it shall produce a log for you. 
  [*]Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.

Notes:
1. Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
2. Do not "re-run" Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.
3.  If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.


Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now

NEXT

run farbar service scanner

Tick "All" options.
Press "Scan".
It will create a log (FSS.txt) in the same directory the tool is run.

Please copy and paste the log to your reply.

this is my log reports from combofix and fss. fss would not run at first took 3 times before it saved to my desktop because it said was not a popular file to run and would not give the option to run. but did finally save to desktop. pc has slowed down and will not let me download any software. tried microsoft fix it to fix uploads but stops 3/4 ways through.

Hi the windows updates delayed start setting is just fnormal and windows will put it to default if u change that....

Download Windows Repair (all in one) from here:
http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html

Install the program then run

Go to step 2 and allow it to run Disc check

Once that is done then go to step 3 and allow it to run SFC

On the start repairs tab select advanced mode and click start

Select all the items given and tick restart system when finished then click Start

thank you for your time and effort. so far the tweak program has done the trick. everything seems to work fine so far. the only issue is the microsoft works 9 update kb2680317. since the tweak fix i have trouble installing that single file as it failed to install 2 times since using tweak. maybe it is a microsoft issue on that file. many, many thanks again.

Microsoft works is not important use revo uninstaller and uninstall the microsoft works program.
