System Tuneup
« on: October 30, 2016, 01:11:10 PM »
I am running a rather 'older' version of Vista on a desktop
Sometimes windows warns me (at least I think it's windows) that my browser needs a 'tuneup'.  I have Explorer.
Question: Is there a free program that I might use for this?
Thanks for any advice.

I've never heard of such a message. Next time please take a screenshot and post it. Also, please don't post in the malware forum unless you believe your system is infected. I've moved the post to this subforum.

Run MBAM...it'll detect all pups...then select  remove all when it's done.
