I never have turned my McAfee back on, nor java scripts. Have not been instructed to from the above scans. Could this be what caused the errors in the event log? Should I turn everything back on now...

I checked add and remove programs and did not see either spybot or windows defender. Could not find them in the start menu or program files. I guess that neither is installed.

I uninstalled spybot but it probably has windows defender. Right now the screen is black and I can't get it to open up. So I will probably have to reboot and start over again.

How do I Disable any script blocking protection for the DDS program? I keep trying to run it and it freezes up about 3/4 way. I turned off java script on Firefox and turned off script in McAfee.

I found it. Sorry
