AskWoody LoungerThanks Paul, you and all have helped me a lot. The problem I had, was finding a way to let other,s know my computer skills aren’t great at all. I was told, I didn’t have to say every time, ( my computer skills aren’t good ) . I totally disagree with that, Paul, you and few others understand that. Theres others that don’t no what your skill levels are. You have to let these people no some way. I guess theres not a good way to do that. I just think this is best. I Thank everyone for the help, Thanks Chuck

AskWoody LoungerThank You All. Iam running my Malwarebytes . I will let you no what it comes up with. I only go in regedit to see if any files are on computer. Weather this tells you, iam not sure. I wont get in regedit other than that.
Long ago I was told to go to regedit under (edit ) scroll down under ( find ) type program name and click enter. I checked this to see if speedyPC is on there. It must not be. Is this the correct way to see? I got Malwarebytes, Super Anti Spyware and Herd Protector, I do the updates and run them separate of course. Each day along with antivirus. Malwarebytes scan says, scan completed successfully, no malicious items found. Thanks Chuck -

AskWoody LoungerThank You Paul, I just wasn’t sure how to do that. Some things are the same with windows 7 or 8 but some aren’t, as you no. Thanks, Chuck
Sorry so many questions.

AskWoody LoungerThanks Guys, this makes sense. Iam not going to use ready boost. My bootup time is great. I got that great FREE EDITION called ( boot racer ) on bootup it tells you bootup time. Mine varies around 38 seconds, not bad at all. Thanks, Chuck
