Win 8 Help Please

[pennydog]

I have a Toshiba L75D - A7280 laptop that has Win 8 installed. I need some help please

I accidentally installed a tool bar and some components last night. Delta Chrome , Delta Toolbar, Safe Saver are all one program, then I have another something called Pokki. I have gone to the uninstall section and got the Delta Chrome out but the others will not uninstall. It sits there and if I click on another to uninstall it says "please wait until program uninstalls" but t never does. How can I get these off?

Where is the start up feature? It used to be in msconfig in XP but cannot find it in Win 8. Cant I stop some programs from starting at boot up? If so how do I get there.

Will try to install Classic Shell tomorrow. Tried tonight but it will not install.

I am sure I will have other questions and thanks for the help.

Try removing them with Revo:

I still think you should scan your system. Start with Malwarebytes first. If something is detected, then make a post in the VDR ICU.

You have to go to Desktop mode first, then run msconfig.

Autoruns has more detailed startup info:

Thank you Midknyte. I will do this tomorrow after work.

This OS will take some getting used to.

I also bought a Toshiba laptop last month. With Classic Shell it really is much more manageable.

[pennydog]

I hope so. Trying to install classic shell this afternoon.

I am so aggravated with this. I can download the Revo but it will not install, nothing will install! I have that stupid Norton on here as a trial, could that be the problem? Nothing will uninstall either.

[Midknyte]

Ok. So it's not just Classic Shell.

Try the portable version of Revo. No installation. Just unzip and run.

Norton what? There are several different products.

Are you doing this from desktop mode? Are you logged in as an administrator?

I got Classic Shell in WITH the trial versions of Norton which I got rid of later.

Norton suite or some such it is free for 30 days I think. I will not keep it once trial expires or may just get rid of it as soon as I can get something to uninstall. Yes I am on the desk top or at least I think I am.

[Midknyte]

Yes I am on the desk top or at least I think I am.

Press Windows key + D. That should bring up desktop mode if you aren't already in it. If you are in desktop mode, it will temporarily hide open programs/folders and take you to the main desktop (like in Windows 7).

Ok I got that hateful tool bar uninstalled by running the Revo portable. I will try and install the classic shell again in a bit.

Will Microsoft Security Essentials work on Win 8?

[Midknyte]

Will Microsoft Security Essentials work on Win 8?

No. In Windows 8, Windows Defender replaces Microsoft Security Essentials.

[pennydog]

Ok is the defender already there or do I need to install it?

Cannot get Classic Shell to install from any mirror site. It will download but not install.

The delta tool bar is still there. It does not show in programs but when I opened a new window it pops up as default search. I uninstalled it with the revo and it does not show there either, but it is here somewhere.

[Midknyte]

Windows Defender is already installed in Win8.

Did you try any other installs? Again, it didn't seem like Classic Shell was the problem before.

I still think you should scan your system. Start with Malwarebytes first. If something is detected, then make a post in the VDR ICU.

Did you scan for malware? I mentioned Malwarebytes earlier. If you can't install that, then there may be bigger issues.

Are you logged in as an administrator?

You didn't verify that you are running as an administrator. You can also try right-clicking on the .exe and choosing "Run as administrator"

[pennydog]

I did run it as administrator. I have not done the malwarebytes yet. I will try that now.
