Done. I rarely shutdown, it sleeps mostly. I don't think power surges and updates mean a shutdown? Now wondering if the fast start setting (even from sleep was interfering with Samsung Settings (i've had issues since June. Now I know how to fix it, PIA tho)

TY... Will do tmw. Makes sense.

Can you explain why? My brain, ouch.

Forgot, what about superantispyware running?

I plan to use control panel to delete. I remember years ago there was a window uninstall cleaner to use after (worked good for me) Do they still exist?

I did purchase..I will get rid of PC matic 1st. Don't like it anyway.

PC Matic, hubby bought it. Not a fan

I also have a 3rd party AV. I should uninstall that before upgrading malwarebytes?

ill try your suggestions.. the website was malwarebtyes.. (MB). I closed this tab since it was getting the popups. Then new to login but now wants email not user name. I get to this post from my history, Yes Im getting confused,, a little

so i closed out this tab.. go to MB.com.. asks for email sign in... no go. I logged in earlier with user name and did a password reset (been yrs). Now it wants email sign in and doesn't work... I'm able to get back to this post from history, glad i didn't delete.
