Default Something is scanning my system, probably spyware in Firefox.

My best guess it's Firefox secretly scanning installed programs ?!
Instead of trying to figure out what's happening, just clean install
EVERYTHING including Window$?
That is the LAST option, no?

Yes. The OP needs to do more investigation, obviously being very
careful.

And it takes time! Skip to Start and collect $200!

But you install for any possible reason.

If the sun goes behind the clouds outside, you reinstall your OS.

If a black cat crosses your trail, you reinstall twice.


Which makes no sense, as you well know.


I Repair Install here, as part of experiments, but I hardly
ever Clean Install on a main OS. It would take too much work
to whip into shape.
