Hello and thank for taking your time. I really appreciate the quality services provided on this forum. You guys have helped me in the past, thanks again. While trying to log into ebay or other secure sites, I receive bogus pages that request very personal information to complete my login. The page is obviously fake, the grammer and spelling are a joke. Scans don't seem to help except that occasionally Avira cautions about a hidden registry item that it cant scan. It goes on to recommend a Rescue Disk, but I couldn't get that to work. Otherwise frequent CPU lock ups and very slow processing speed. I hope that helps point you in the right direction. I'll wait patiently for your reply and again, thank you so much!
