I already knew about that registry tool remover for avira. But, I doubt that I successfully downloaded the tool because of avira preventing me proper internet surfing.

As of the current set up, I see no record of avira on my system. Have to install some programs. But, it is all going well. This did not work out 3 months ago when I tried this.

Install "free" virus spyware software at your peril as it may well install spyware.

It is not "free" for no reason as they probably scoop up various bits and pieces from your browsing and email and give it to advertisers.

The really evil software logs your passwords and any bank details for a future hit.

WebRoot spyware and virus software detects these pirate programs BEFORE you even install them and warns if you try to access a bad internet site.

On Windows 10 you should ALWAYS do a Windows backup so you can then easily recover your damaged machine.

Also make a Windows 10 boot disk so you can boot away from the bad program and then use your Windows 10 backup to restore the machine and then stop the problem program from loading in Services.

The idea is to make the Windows 10 backup BEFORE you load any strange program.
