    You lose them all. You computer will look like it did the day you brought
    it home from the nursery.

    They should auto install, as Auto Updates is turned on by default.

    Hi Linda,

    Have you thought about System Restore?
    Depending on your problems and the cause you might be infected with a Virus
    and/or lots of Spyware. Before I'd do a Factory Settings I'd try System
    Restore and go back before the problems began.

    Linda,
    You can read about PUP.a here.

    http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_136739.htm

    It's possible the generic PUP.a is in your System Restore and yes you will
    get it back, but I believe with Avast you can then get rid of it. I just
    suggested a System Restore before I'd do a Factory Restore, it's totally up
    to you.

    IMO I would get rid of McAfee period and install the FREE version of Avast.
    http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

    Or the FREE version of AVG
