thanks for the info. that seems to have done the trick on the "ghost" voices. lol. Im no IT person thats for sure but not a computer noob either, but sometimes this crap makes me feel like one.
I was reading some of the info on the full version and it says that it can help with the processes running and taking up to much memory or something like that. So if it works as good as the virus remover, I'll prolly end up buying it in the next month when norton runs out. anyone have any experience with the full version?
oh and fwiw, malewarebytes found 48 threats on the first run. I ran norton quick scan twice and full scan once today and it found nothing. however I didn't run it in safe mode... which takes some getting use to btw cause it makes the tabs and stuff sooooo much bigger. It kinda reminded me of my old windows 98 os. lol.
thanks kaiser for the instruction, Ive never run safe mode before, and needed it. thanks again.
