I didn't get any warning signs like you said but I did have some 20 different things on the list that showed up. Every time I tried to Clean up checked items button I get the not recommended sign window show up for EACH one. It really didn't do anytime. Here is the list:

None of these were fixed.

Computer doesn't freeze like it used to anymore. I did freeze up yesterday once, not sure why. My computer starts up faster, windows responds timely, and my AV isn't going nuts anymore.

On the side note, my computer fan starts going off every time I play a video or whenever my kid sister plays her video games. Is that normal?

Any other tests I should run? Thanks.

Thanks for the time and help. I really appreciate it.

By going off do you mean they start running or they stop running?

Hi, Thanks for responding.

I meant they start running like crazy.

BlueScreenView

I ran bluescreenview, but nothing happened. I was empty. Maybe I wasn't doing right? I don't know.

Lately I found out my kid sister was clicking on ads (you know those ads on the sides of any websites), maybe this had to do with something. Also my videos have been loading very slowly. Randomly window explore (not the internet) starts freezing whenever I try to excess any files from my documents. Although my computer doesn't freeze anymore like before, maybe it had to do with some of the programs you recommended.

Also, my adblocker that comes with kaspersky 2012 doesn't work. I'm forced to watch advertisements on videos, websites, youtube, etc, it really sucks Indifferent or Blank

Thanks You're awesome.

It sounds like overheating in your computer. You should install SpeedFan and run it to check the temperatures in your computer.

You should contact Kaspersky about that.
I'm quite positive that your computer is clean. There could be many other things causing the other problems. We should do some cleanup.
