I believe the memory errors were happening before the virus episode, maybe for a couple of months, but I did not discount that the virus was laying in wait. I am running Windows 7, loathe 8 which my daughter's computer runs. It would be great to not have to trash this computer because as I mentioned, the specs are still good and maybe Jon could use it for gaming or something. I am going to try some of these suggestions when I get home later. I was trying not to have to do a whole reinstall type thing because I am just not a patient person lolI have a question for all the smarty pants <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> When I set up Bella's computer, we installed Chrome on there, which is what I use (well, Chrome has been the one with the virus attached and still freezes up sometimes so kind of went back to Firefox). I don't recall why but we used my account on her computer. So, all my favorites and tool bar are the same on mine and hers. If she gets a virus on her computer that targets Chrome, can that get to my computer through the sharing of the favorites and tool bar? Or vice versa?The new computer comes with free year of McAfee. I've tried and been running probably three different any viruses, each one picking up different things along the way. AVG is the one always running. HitMan Pro also seemed to help but like I said in the end I had to do this:  <a href="http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-vosteran-search/#malwarebytes" target="_blank">http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-vosteran-search/#malwarebytes</a>  Doing this seemed to help and fix this issue and cut down on a lot of the crap that was going on. It hasn't fixed getting the memory error occasionally.</blockquote>
