Hello Nicole, welcome to the forum!
I have some ideas but i'm not one of the experts to tell you exactly what to fix, not sure if they want one of the downloaded files i see in your O16 area as a sample to make sure if anything else should be looked at on your system too, so please don't fix nothing yet till the experts tell you, so hold on a few minutes more please.


EDIT: in the meantime your thread is moved to the HJT area so leaves my "heartly welcome" as appropriate only!
Wait for the fix-team please!
