Hello, i am hoping that someone can help me with a problem that i have been experiencing the past few days. for at least 2 years i have been unable to download any Windows updates as something a while back had removed "BITS" from my computer thereby leaving me in a pickle when it came to that. well a few days ago i ran "Malwarebytes" and in the setting for the scan i checked the box to search for rootkits (don't have any idea what they are) and after the scan it came back finding 8 infected items. upon completing that i then got at the bottom right of my screen (where the volume icon is) the red & white shield icon, which i hadn't seen in years, so i thought to try windows updates and it worked!! BITS was there again! however i didn't download them all for there were alot of them, so i was doing it piecemeal up until i found that some were really playing havoc with my settings ie. display. but now i noticed about 11 svchost.exe something called ieuser.exe as well as a bunch of duplicate entries when i CTRL+ALT+DELETE, also i notice that it takes unusually long to access my homepage when i click to do that and notice my RAM is being consumed much more.
I run Windows Vista Home Premium, if that helps. any assistance would be greatly appreciated as i am a novice at best when it comes to computers.
Thank you in advance!
