Please thank everyone for responding to my previous posts

Question

I finally got another email.  I was removed from the discussion and had several suggested readings regarding use of forum.  I had inadvertently done something that I did not know was illegal per the advice of a friend who I thought was more knowledgeable than she was, and now I guess I've "jailbroken" my phone. Now no one will help me.  I'll have to resort to looking for answers from all the wackos on the internet, some of which may not have my best interest in mind.  I'll have to take my chances.  Please thank everyone for responding to my inquiry regarding FelipeV.  I guess I'm now banned from discussions.

Thank you again.  Last night I reopened iTunes and it said it had to run in compatibility mode.  I was caught of guard by that and tried to figure out what was going on because I did not want to chance messing up my iPhone because it wasn't perfect.  I tried finding articles to fix it and finally decided to delete the app using the instructions from support.apple.com.  While attempting to delete the first program in the specific instructed order, I received error message while removing iTunes.  Error code 2324 and then Error writing to Program Files (86) iTunes IT Detector.OCX.  I spent hours doing that as it would appear to uninstall and then not do it. I can't remember what I used Fix It for but it was stuck in a loop for hours and finally I stopped it.  I ran a scan search and found OCX file and changed security permission and retried what I was doing and all worked.  AT that point I was really tired and I don't remember how I finally did it, but once the first application (iTunes) was deleted I had no problem uninstalling the other four related applications. After restarting, I looked in Program Files (86) to see if any files were left behind and didn't see any.  I did not want to mess with the registry for fear I'd totally mess things up.  My computer did hang up on starting once and it went into repair mode and it fixed itself.  I did a reboot, pushing my luck, to make sure it would start okay again, and then  I did a malware scan with both Windows Malicious Tool Removal update app from Windows and also the free version of Malware Byte.  Both came back clean.  I then went to bed at about 6:30 am.  I plan on reinstalling iTunes after I make some coffee and see if it does a clean install. Its not like I don't maintain my computer.  I did a factory reset and everything was working great.  Hadn't even junked up my computer with all my document files yet.  They're still on flash drive.  I will run scan disc while having coffee.  I've only used 71.5 of 451GB so it shouldn't take long.  Thanks for your patience.
