Hello Maurice; Thank you for the new link. Today I went to Filehippo, and let their program look at my computer for needed updates. It listed Adobe Shockwave Flashplayer, CCleaner, Foxit Reader , Java , and Realplayer as needing downloads. I removed my old programs one at a time with Revo Uninstaller, and installed the update after each program was removed. Restarted the computer after installing the above programs. Next I got an update from Malwarebytes, and ran the full scan. It found no Rogue.Antispy. Nothing else harmful either. Would anything be accomplished by continuing with our search ? I didn't expect my downloads from File Hippo would correct this, because from what I was able to see, there was no direct connection to these programs. If you want me to continue, say the word. I really appreciate your timely emails, and genuine offer of good help. Best regards.

Hello Maurice; Thanks for the information. I was following your directions and have a new problem. My version of Windows is 32 bit. The download is in 64 bit. The system won't allow it to be installed. I looked around briefly, but didn't see a download that definitely said 32 bit. I have a license for the 64 bit, and installed it when windows 7 first came out. I had many problems with various compatibilies, due in par t to what seemed like software not being designed for it. I never got to the newer, faster etc experience, so I uninstalled it and went back to 32 bit. At that time the 32 bit on this machine worked much better. Please advise.

I have used the free Malwarebytes program for years, but never had the need to ask a question. ( or maybe not smart enough to ) The program keeps finding something it lists as Rogue.Antispy and recommends removal. It will find it again 30 minutes later on a new scan. Let me provide as best as I can the information: Rogue.Antispy Category- Registry key Item HKLM\software\HT Going to the location: It is located on a separate line and not related to , but below : HomePage.HomePage.1 Malware bytes locates it in : htafile > CLSID >DEFAULT ICON >shell open command If I open vendor information, I get sent to " Buy the latest edition of Malwarebytes. Clicking on any of the items below "htafile" doesn't give me anyting I know anything about. It gives a new letter or two on the right hand side of the page. I'm concerned because the computer doesn't always open the home page ( yahoo ) smoothly. Sometimes it blinks a few times. When I search for ordinary things ( not porn) I frequently get " cannot open this page" Running the diagnostic, doesn't find anything. Going to the alternates windows suggests, finds nothing either. If I need to change a setting, please advise. The Rogue.Antispy seems to have no problem getting into the computer whenever it chooses. Give simple directions please. Yeah, I'm a simpleton. Thank you. Windows 7, all updates
