That is very good.   Bravo.

I believe this system is good to go now.

Just so you know, the pc has Java version 8 / 201   which is an old & insecure version.   Uninstall  Java 8 Update 201.   Old insecure versions pose a security exposure risk.

IF the pc has applications that need Java  then get the latest Version from Oracle.

See  https://securitygarden.blogspot.com/2020/04/oracle-java-se-jre-security-updates.html

for the download link  & the how-to-go-about for the install..

Windows 10 itself does not need Java at all.   If you have no user applications that use Java, then do not install.

.

I would like you to run a tool named SecurityCheck to inquire on the current-security-update  status  of some applications.
Download SecurityCheck by glax24 from here  


and save the tool on the desktop.
If Windows's  SmartScreen block that with a message-window, then
Click on the MORE INFO spot and over-ride that and allow it to proceed.
This tool is safe.   Smartscreen is overly sensitive.

Right-click  with your mouse on the Securitycheck.exe  and select "Run as administrator"   and reply YES to allow to run & go forward
Wait for the scan to finish. It will open in a text file named SecurityType.txt. Close the file.  Attach it with your next reply.
You can find this file in a folder called SecurityCheck, C:\SecurityCheck\SecurityCheck.txt

OK.   As noted before, you need to uninstall Java 8 Update 201

Adobe Acrobat version is out of date.  Adobe Acrobat 4.0 v.4.0 Warning! This software is no longer supported. Please uninstall it and use Adobe Acrobat DC.

 

The tool also points out:

---------------------------- [ UnwantedApps ] -----------------------------

I am happy to have helped you.  This next section is to cleanup the tools I had you use.

Delete mb-support-1.6.0.774.exe      on the Downloads folder

Delete  mbst-grab-results.zip  on the Desktop

Delete  msert.exe

Delete  esetonlinescanner_enu.exe

Delete SecurityCheck.exe

 

To remove the FRSTENGLISH tool & its work files, do this.  Go to your Downloads folder.  Do a RIGHT-click on FRSTENGLISH.exe & select RENAME & then change it to UNINSTALL.exe .
Then run that ( double click on it)  to begin the cleanup process.

 

Adwcleaner you may keep & use on demand to check for adwares.

Backup is your best friend.  Keep backups of your system on a regular basis to offline storage & keep those safe. https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/136226-backup-software/

It is not enough to just have a security program installed. Each pc user needs to practice daily safe computer and internet use.

Best  practices & malware prevention:
Follow best practices when browsing the Internet, especially on opening links coming from untrusted sources.
First rule of internet safety: slow down & think before you "click".
Never click links without first hovering your mouse over the link and seeing if it is going to an odd address ( one that does not fit or is odd looking or has typos).

Free games & free programs are like "candy". We do not accept them from "strangers".

Never open attachments that come with unexpected ( out of the blue ) email no matter how enticing.
Never open attachments from the email itself. Do not double click in the email. Always Save first and then scan with antivirus program.

Pay close attention when installing 3rd-party programs. It is important that you pay attention to the license agreements and installation screens when installing anything off of the Internet. If an installation screen offers you Custom or Advanced installation options, it is a good idea to select these as they will typically disclose what other 3rd party software will also be installed.
Take great care in every stage of the process and every offer screen, and make sure you know what it is you're agreeing to before you click "Next".

Use a Standard user account rather than an administrator-rights account when "surfing" the web.
See more info on Corrine's SecurityGarden Blog http://securitygarden.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_7.html
Dont remove your current login. Just use the new Standard-user-level one for everyday use while on the internet.

 
Do a Windows Update.

Make certain that Automatic Updates is enabled.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12373/windows-update-faq

Keep your system and programs up to date. Several programs release security updates on a regular basis to patch vulnerabilities. Keeping your software patched up prevents attackers from being able to exploit them to drop malware.

I wish you all the best.   Stay safe.

Sincerely,

Maurice
