I have been reading a lot of the discussions, and please hang with me, I am NOT techy like you all are.
I had Avast premier, (took it off - even though they charged without my consent for 2 years)
I cannot access Windows defender, I am hardlined to my router/modem.
Running Win 8.1 64bit
Mbam is blocking some websites from chrome, but I cannot gain access to my C drive
Took me a good week to get out of redirects from Chrome
Avast never found a problem, always created one though.
How do I gain access and run what's needed to fix my computer. I am prompted for everything, I do not download things unless specifically told to. Microsoft reinstalled as I had a virus or something on 12/20/2017. Since then on 12/28/17, 1/02/18, 1/11/18 etc, pc running slow, everything I plug into google to see if a file is safe always says "good".. popups, banners, even though that is all disabled. Mbam custom scan with rootkits, takes over 5 hours to run, I love mbam, yet, I know something is wrong with my pc. I'll be sitting here all day, looking for help...thanks. Please tell me what info you need and happy to share!
