When I try to run TFC, my PC freezes. I've let it sit for over 30 minutes and the desktop goes away but just freezes up. Malwarebytes captured this in it's log tonight and I had it quarantined:

When I go that downloads folder I do not see this b.temp file, I went into Malwarebytes and deleted it there.

At this point I'm ready to dump Chrome and go back to Explorer unless you have any other ideas. I thank you for your time over these past few weeks!

TFC will do that sometimes. Just do a disk cleanup instead. Double-click on My Computer, right-click on the C drive and select Disk cleanup.

I don't know too much about Chrome but FireFox is reputed to be a safer browser.Ok I'll do the disk cleanup. Thanks again for all your help!You're welcome. I will lock this thread. If you need it re-opened, please send me a pm.
