Thanks for the explanation David, really helped ease my worries!

Hi David and Daledoc1, I am not using an iolo product as far as I'm aware. Is there any other programs that might cause the registry to be changed? I have recently installed numerous programs as my hard drive failed and once I got that fixed I had to reinstall everything. I have also been working with Linux using VirtualBox lately as part of my university course so I don't know whether that could have affected anything. Many thanks, Rachel

Hi I recently did a scan using Malwarebytes and it came back with a positive result for something called Broken.command. I did a full scan using Kaspersky and it couldn't find anything. I have done various searching online and most often it is a false positive however I do not use System Mechanic by iolo but I don't know whether any other program can cause a false positive. Most of the time my laptop seems fine but every now and then it completely freezes and my little widget shows the RAM at 100%. The problem always resolves itself though. I've included my scan results in this post. Many thanks, Rachel
