Thanks Nass
I disabled three non-verified Add-Ons
The virus scanning indicated that I have no viruses
The spyware scan identified 3 entries under DSS Agent which were removed.
There are a pair of error messages in the application folder ever time my
explorer fails.
The one error message from the system I believe is a problem with my
networking which I can look further into.

The following is the information I copied and pasted.
