Judy,
Windows updates were done before anything else and we were told that the systme is up to date. Sounds like I need to go back to Microsoft and keep updating?

So few items on start up? Well I am not the first person to try fixing this computer. Other people have disabled this or that but there are no windows' errors so I did not worry about it.

Firewall is the standard that windows uses but I am thinking about using Zone Alarm because I use it at home and it does pretty good.

Here is my new AVG log:
