Communist Moose Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 So I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. It did it for me, I didn't touch anything while it got it on my computer, so I do all these scans with AVG and ASC while checking for outdated devices. AVG told me to get this program (AVG PC TuneUp) that will fix some problems that the Anti-Virus won't touch. It fixed the problems, took about an hour, and then I told it to clean my two hard drives (AVG Disk Doctor). So all these things are done (except the Disk Doctor, it's still working on my 2nd drive), and I load up TF2, I then notice that literally everything on my PC is x32, but when I go to my settings it says my PC is an x64, does this matter? I hope not. I play some TF2 in a trade server for about 10-20 minutes and then while changing websites through the steam browser my TF2 tells me something is wrong with my PC and VAC giving me a link to a forums post (which I can't highlight because it's an error), while a voice generator tells me I have a breach in my Firewall and to call this yadda yadda, seems like an adware. Java told me it was a break through the program, so I decided to google it and it's telling me how to remove adware so I just use IOBit Malware remover first before I get this adware program. Then I notice my Windows 10 start menu is no longer the same thing, it's a Windows 8 replica, never said I wanted it like this, and when I search stuff up it's just sending me to start menu packs to download for customizations, yet none telling me how to fix it. It's from IOBit, and there seems to be no way to fix it. I'm screwed, I'm accepting my fate, but Windows 10 is not looking nice. Had none of these problems with Windows 7. Anyone got an idea on how I fix these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Dong Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Everything you downloaded PCTune up disk doctor and IOBit were all adware Jesus man Get malwarebytes https://www.malwarebytes.org/ Start a scan when you get it installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AVG had a built-in button that took me to their website for the Tuneup thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Communist Moose Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 I have used IOBit for years and AVG for even longer. Right now I'm just really confused on what to do, I've used these things for so long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temido2222 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 If you want the Windows 7 look, download Classic Shell after you fix your antivirus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Communist Moose Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 If you want the Windows 7 look, download Classic Shell after you fix your antivirus. No I want the Windows 10 look, but IOBit decided to change it without my permission and I can't change it back. I'm getting rid of ASC and IOBit Malware, I have MalwareBytes and I have had CCLeaner for years. Might just keep AVG, CCleaner, and Malwarebytes.

AVG is good just dont download the shit it advertises. CCleaner is good for finding shit thats bloating your HDD and malwarebytes just does its thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks though, I was pretty blind to what IOBit was doing. EDIT: I also have Driver Booster 2 which is from IOBit and is supposed to tell me if I have outdated stuff, and defragger, those bad or should I just keep them.
