Sharon can you use the computer you are reporting here on to download the programs grandms suggests? Save them to a thumb drive or external drive, heck even burn them to a CD. Anything to get you underway. To get the latest AdAware definitions after you have downloaded the program itself click the link below and save this to your thumb drive. Install AdAware then double click on defs.zip on the thumb drive, click to open. It will not be recognised but you are invited to browse to the right program. Browse to C:\Program files\Lavasoft\AdawareSE Personal\ and click on Adaware.exe, click OK and the latest definitions will be installed. Now run AdAware. There will be a similar procedure if you elect to update the other prorams using that method. However you might find after AdAware cleans up you can get online for the updates which will be easier for you. Here is a link that might be useful: AdAware's latest definitions

Thanks so much for letting us know. I was getting an error messages that said "Connection to the update server has failed". I wasn't sure if it was AVG or my computer. I'll wait until it's fixed and try again. Dee

Thanks, here's some updates done last night and this morning. But first, owbist, what is "WOT"... I'm an old guy and don't read some of the "text messaging" shorthand, or I'm an old guy and just forgot what I used to know WOT to mean. Yes, I'm running 64 bit. I think I will uninstall RegCure. After posting last night I did the necessary back up to an off line HDD, then I tried a restore. While setting that up it was shown that MS had done an update at 10:40 PM, during the time RegCure was scanning - related? Could be. I have changed Windows Update from Automatic to ask for my approval. In any event the restore to last MS Update failed, some program was not available (or busy, forget what the detail was) so I ran a normal shut down and went to bed. This morning the system booted what looked to be normal, so I tried again to do a restore so I could record what the restore change was, it was: Windows Defender Defs KB915597, still only a possible cause, no proof other than time. While in the restore setup I asked for a "scan for affected programs" none were detected. I went forward with the restore and it came up with a driver: TI105238WOE (or 0E) (C:) System. This time the restore completed successfully, DON'T ASK, just be happy. I then went back to update and had the Defender Defs (re)installed. All seems to be fine as I do this typing. I do run Advanced System Care every few days and it does some type of Registry Check, maybe that's enough checking of the Registry. I do think, however, the problem was the running of a windows update (hence Registry changes) at the same time that RegCure was scanning.
