I'm not very good with computers, but I did get Malwarebytes on my computer ( with thumb drive, as I can't get onto internet without the alpha popping up) and deleted the alpha.exe thing in the "Windows Task Manager" which was the only way to get it to allow Malwares to run. It found 9 threats the first time, nȯne the second time, but the Alpha is still on there and back in the "Windows Taks manager Processes" I just have the free Malwarebytes Anti-malware version.
Everything should be up to date as I just installed a new hard drive less than 2 weeks ago.
Thank you for any help you can offer.
Sandie
