Download and scan with: Malwarebytes.org

Once done, scan with: prevx.com

If there is still stuff, pay the $30 for a year - well worth it.

I did both and no contaminated files were found. I deleted almost 500 emails between deleted, sent and inbox. I have about 40 gb of files on a 120 gb hard drive

the graph in task manager shows about 1 gb of ram being used thats 1/2 of what I have. Is this about right?

there were lots of processes when I opened task manager but they were all listed but only a couple seemed to be running. Should I go through and google them even though they don't seem to running or using any ram?

thanks for all your help
