I had really bad luck with WinPC Antivirus. I found it didn't work well or protect my computer. I use Cyberdefender and have great success with it. It is super easy.

I've done everything on here, the program is gone but my IE still doesn't like me. It opened a random pop up a couple of minutes ago! It crashes when I load it as well. I'm currently on my BT Yahoo browser to keep me going.

My computer is back to normal speed though, thank God!
