If it wasn't for this guy, I would throw out a nearly brand new PC running windows.
When I first bought my HP a year ago because I needed to run some non mac software, it only took a month for it to get the pop ups, and malware, and crud on it.. I went looking for help and free clean up files and came across this guy on Salty Cajun who is a Windows certified technician and was just working on finishing up grad school as well - Eric Duffy. Other people said they used him to clean up their PC running windows, so I figured it would be worth a shot. He's really dirt cheap for what he does and he's fast too. What he charged was worth every penny and it's kept me sane working on a windows machine ever since. So when I found my PC downloading Windows 10 because I accidentally left the Windows 10 offer window open... I knew exactly who to call. He went through it and cleaned up all un-needed files and set everything so it couldn't get more crap.
Glad I did.. Thanks Eric!
If anyone has a PC giving them trouble.. it's well worth a $50 one time fee for a Certified Windows Technician ( I would be willing to pay him 2x that much), and he's a fisherman to boot.

I assure you I'm not affiliated with him at all. He just works on my computer so I can work for you.
