Check your proxy settings

I have no idea how/where to check proxy settings. I'm weak in computer literacy.

I'm thinking there is a virus in this thing. I am having several problems with it.

I need a good scan and better protection. Suggestions?

Internet Explorer>Tools>Internet Options>Connections>LAN Settings

uncheck use proxy

I think "Optimizer Pro" is listed in "Program and Features" or Add/Remove programs, uninstall it

Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer does not work?

They are not the same thing.

Oops, that should be internet explorer

What version of Windows are you using?

Do this:

Open a command prompt and type "sfc /scannow" This will pickup the corrupted system files left after the program was removed.
