I'm having a problem with my wife's computer.
When it is running, all computers on the WIFI/DSL Lite network run slow (0.04Mbps). Turning her computer off or turning the WiFi network off on her computer solves the problem on the other computers, we're back to normal DSL Lite speed (±1.3 M depending on time of day). IMO This definitely isolates the problem to her computer.
Her computer also runs dreadfully slow on non-Internet apps, but when I turn off the WiFi so that it is not accessing the Internet, it runs at normal speed. (I have her WIFI network permanently turned off until this problem is fixed.)
I ran both an AV and Malwarebytes scan and they show no problems.
I restored her hard drive to a point before when she was having a problem. This seemed to fix it for about a half hour, then it went back to it's slow state. (I always thought an Acronis disk image would solve all problems, but I guess it doesn't.)
I might try an earlier image thinking that the kit may have been asleep on the HD for a while before activating (wild guess on my behalf). Does this make sense?
Googling around on the net, I'm beginning to suspect a rootkit. Note: I'm not a computer guru, I get along with them, but am completely self taught; That means I don't know what I don't know and don't know what I might need to know (if you know what I mean).
So I downloaded RootKit Removal apps by Kaspersky, McAfee, and Malwarebytes (beta) and am wondering what may be the safest and easiest for a non-guru and best tool for detecting and/or removing a Root Kit if that's what her problem is. (I'm extremely shy about the Malwarebytes tool, because it is Beta and there is a big disclaimer basically saying that if it screws up your computer to the point where it is a doorstop, tough luck.)
Is there a better one out there?
This is unsettling because Leilani is careful and she doesn't open attachments or go to weird sites. That suggests to me that anyone can get hit with a kit. We also went to one of my working computers and changed her important passwords.
Thanks, Bob

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
