    What is recommended:

    6. Run Malwarebytes "Quick scan" once in a while to assure safety of your computer.

    7. Run Temporary File Cleaner (TFC), AdwCleaner and Junkware Removal Tool (JRT) weekly

    Broni lists where to get them and how to use them in this thread.

    Post 44 is where his recommendation is, and stages the clean up through the thread when he adds new programs.

    Windows 10 has a built-in firewall. It will normally be turned on unless you have installed a different one.

    Since XP SP3 came out, yes windows has had a firewall.

    superantispyware is so old and out of date . . . .I don't even look at it anymore.

    The native Windows Defender AV beats AVG antivirus in my book, been using the windows versions for years and NO problems either.

    I hope you used the McCafee removal tool
    Download and run the MCPR tool:
