    Thank you. there got to be so much posted and i still had so many questions about previous posts, that this one got lost, lol!

    will this be obvious in how it operates or am i only going to have more questions after i've downloaded it?

    Hi KathyL,

    It is very easy to install. There is a button to Analyze. You can run that one first to see what will be deleted. If all looks good (it should), then you can click on Run Cleaner. This will delete all .tmp files. Run KAV again first, to make sure all of the malware is gone, since malware can lock files a prevent them from being deleted.

    run KAV before i install and run CCleaner?

    and i just scanned previous posts - i missed your post about not scanning... guess i've still got some work to do. its just frustrating that i'm given instructions and, if for some reason, i dont quite understand them, i cant do anything until i hear back from someone and now that its the work week, thats all day. pout! :'(

    Hi KathyL,

    Yes, it is tough getting rid of malware once it has infected a machine. I would run KAV one more time before cleaning. It's good to know that all of the malware is gone before cleaning up after it. Let us know how it goes.

    I had it its the CWS virus and using Spyware Doctor will get rid of it. Just use the free version of it.
