When finalizing our troubleshooting, it was recommended that I check settings in I.E. I didn't think anything of it as I don't use I.E. When I turned Windows Update back on, it did some updates to I.E. Windows Security now showed Kaspersky as the firewall, virus protection and spyware/malware protection. Kaspersky worked with me and we discovered that the program had indeed been corrupted so using another computer and cd which I burned, I installed a new Kaspersky Pure 3 program. From there, I couldn't turn on Windows Firewall or Windows Defender and Windows Update had been shut down. Then I discovered my firewall was down, and the programs were not running according to Windows Security. However, somehow I was hacked and they managed to corrupt my Kasperky Pure 3 program as well as my IoBits Advanced System Care Pro, well still acting as if both were updating and running as they should.

search engine was Google and I had no problem opening links. I've been working with Jeff over in the Virus, Trojan, Spyware and Malware forum and we've come to a point where he feels that the problem is possibly a hardware software problem of some sort.
