Hey David!
I've just been thru the same thing, but was fortunate enough, to have a
professional fix it for me, but just one salutory word of advice...
If you can at all help it, never run any internet crap on your audio
computer, especially a web-browser, apart from registering software etc.
That's how I got screwed in the first place, and it was a very long drawn
out slow death for my OS and the rest of my DAW!
Mike
