If you want to know how crazy things are, get this: on my second try the anti-malware tool downloaded in a matter of seconds.

After a scan it found one piece of "unwanted non-malware"--pup.opencandy in my AIM downloader, which was successfully quarantined.

Oh well. At least one more possibility has been eliminated. What now?

Did you do a full, in-depth system scan?

Reboot, and see if any of your problems were solved.

Next is to go into Control Panel, Programs & Features, and see what’s actually installed on your computer. Any unwanted apps can be uninstalled from there.

What anti-virus software are you using? Norton-Symmantec? Windows Defender? McAfee?

Fair disclosure: I’ve never had DSL. I went from 9600 baud (late-80s), to 14.4k to 28.8k to radio tower at 75mbps, and now to 121mbps on CommieCast.

What browser are you using to access the web? Are you using AOL's software? Specifically, the AOL Desktop?
