Thanks much. :~) I was finally able to copy Malwarebyte’s to the laptop. I’ve run it twice and found a bunch of crap. Next step after a third run is to try to do a system restore.
Make sure to push the REMOVE SELECTED button in the bottom right-hand corner, after the scan completes. Otherwise, the program won’t remove any bad stuff it finds.
I wouldn’t do a system restore. You run the risk of putting the malware back on your computer that way.
