Thanks for your support/input Honorary Member. Machine isn't slow for being diaup, only when an "intruder" is present or active. Like I said earlier Sysinternals cleans them out but time consuming. AVG nails some but lets things in, why I suspect its not ALL virus or malware. No point in better computer or OS until I can prove what the intruder is. Maybe OS malfunction, get up to proving the issues with the correct program choices. Speed wise is interesting, usually 45k of the 56k possible but the program downloading is always 3-5. News items can take seconds to minutes to load, walk away, do something else, live with it, laugh lots, it's affordable. I'm in services often to shutoff or start programs, helps alot. Watch task manager like a hawk, helps on remembering what is supposed to be there, usually 22-25 items running. I downloaded Ubunto awhile back, could not understand how to run it, instructions in jargon, words don't match the buttons. I would pay for a functional OS even though its free. No matter the outcome here I will buy a paid version of MB. Gotta go, Thanks to everyone's help.

David, Thanks for the MB link, I'll read that tonight, perhaps over this weekend. Pointless to discuss here the unaffordable options that you are informed about. I don't know your reputation but your dialup costing is false. I pay $15US monthly, all 3 local options/service types are over $100CAN & locked in for a year or more.The dialup is prepaid for whatever period one wants, no hooks. I'm only stating this as you claimed otherwise & you do have commercial interest in selling your mentioned services, am I correct? AVG publisted a list off sites that are not compatable, that list includes malwarebytes, has that changed? Its why I asked. One of the BM ads/programs says it will block all threats including "dialers". There are a bunch of ads/programs. What is included in the premium purchased package? I don't see a comparison chart, if it was clear I would not be asking here. Hopefully that info is in your link. Thanks again for the link David, Bob.

You are forgiven for posting off topic, I have made assumption errors too. I have no need for "rich internet content" & avoid / block all things that move. Text & images suffice. Dialup is cheap, wifi is expensive. Neither is the topic or XP that still runs 30% of the worlds business. I have a year old wifi Chromebook & a box with Win7. Neither is senior vision friendly unless one thinks side scrolling with a magnifier is modern. Win8 is fine for those needing a midget computer or children that can't spell yet. Ubunto is desired but not in this topic. Back to the topic of MB options, what do I need for full computer protection. Can I run bought MB program(s) "x" or "x & z" with avg or will it work on its own / delete avg entirely. I delete stuff all the time with sysinternal programs...or only think so, because this week the entire suite went missing. What is needed is a trap to trace the IP if it is a phone hack. This suspected alky hacker doesn't remember what she rages about drunk, especially how load & recordable she is, cops say its not their problem. That should make her keylogger hiccup! Yep, I have found & deleted them too. My experience indicates both issues occur. Thanks for considering my questions.

I am a senior with xp software & dialup internet. Always having problems. I have AVG internet 2014, a paid version. Wasted money. I have installed MB antimalware trial. Not sure if it misses problems or there is conflict between the 2. Avg is turned off but still has items running in the task manager. I hesitate to delete avg because I don't know what is causing my problems, is it theft ware or an intruder on my phone line. I have the store bought disk but the updating takes a day or more. Repair option makes no difference. I'm not clear if Mb sells one program only to be learned that I'll need to buy more programs like the suckerware avg does. What do I need ?
