Malware or virus??
DW just accidentally downloaded a program under the name of SYSTWEAK which uses something called 'Regclean Pro' and PC Utilities Pro!! It is hell. Looks like malware and it refuses to be uninstalled...

Thanks all. I have learnt much from these tips. Long story short - DW became tired of the way I always checked what she did on our pc plus the questionable sites she called up, etc. With her (own) newly purchased lap top she immediately got into a 'bind' and now wants moi to correct "her" mistakes. Best Buy asked her to fork over $250 to fix her pc issues. About half the cost of the device!! Go figure!
I'm tempted to leave her be and download whatever she wants but I know it will backfire and leave me holding a wet, soggy bag of crap!! Costing me time and money - so she can play on line games and god only knows whatelse. bb
p.s. Problem is now corrected (for now) but I know a repeat will come; likely sooner then later
Just to make you feel better my wife did the same exact thing. Told her do not use the desk top as it is for bills and official house stuff. I only downloaded ring tones she says, 1 week later still scubbing my system. i think it's all set now and I added a password so she cannot go on it.Yup she was Pi$% off but got her an ipad mini as apple is a little harder to catch a virus. happy wife....
