As alwaysalway,s, thanks. I do not use malware bytes, but Defender. And I
have removed the programs. One of them is BlueStacks. Another one is a
pirate game. These appeared yesterday, and the only ones who had used my
laptop were my son and myself. He is 17, and his answer was "I don't know".
Anyway, will Malware Bytes work with defender, and I will assume that it is
accessible. Is it free? Thanks again.

Hey jerry. I don't think being blind prevents you from playing games, but it
is true that many of them are not too usable, and I well understand your
frustration at having them appear on your computer without your consent.
What games are these that are appearing? Microsoft actually packs a few with
Windows now, I believe. Some applications, will you download them, will ask
you to install other products, offering you "free stuff", basically. It's
really easy to just check the boxes and carry on with the install and not
necessarily be aware. This happened to me recently when I went to re-install
Cdex (cd ripping software). There is no remedy other than just taking care,
read all screens (using the JAWS cursor if you have to) when installing
software and so on. If you are using Windows 10, I think your user Account
Control will probably start complaining if software tries to install things
in your programs folders. I personally chose to turn that feature off
because it's a bit of a nuissance, but it's probably a good security
feature, anyway. In the meantime, just go into control panel and remove all
these unwanted programmes. If you run MalwareBytes, it can help you as well,
by removing all unwanted stuff from the registry.

Afternoon all.
I have a question. Has anyone ever experienced a game being installed
without your knowledge or consent? I have had several games show up in my
programs folder, and, being blind, I myself have no need (or time) for
games. And if this is happening, can anyone offer a remedy? I am running
Windows 10, JAWS 17, IE 11 on a Dell laptop. Thanks in advance Jerry For
