Windows Repair Showing windows vista on my windows 8.1
Boggin:
Did McAfee Security come preinstalled on the computer ?
Running two active AV programs can cause a range of anomalous problems and of the two I would opt to get rid of McAfee.
These are the instructions to fully uninstall McAfee https://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS101331
As for the other bits, see what happens when you disconnect from the Internet.
For the sfc /scannow finding corruption, open a Command Prompt (Admin) and enter -
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
See what that reports and if it comes back clean then redo the sfc /scannow to see if it still reports corruption.

This is the mcAfee leftover registry items found by Revo

I had my suspicions about the Dell Back up and recovery and their pocket cloud. I was continually getting emails from them thanking me for registering or that I havent backed up my data for 8 days, then I would get another that I havent backed up my data for 5 days???? But their app never worked so I never registered and never enabled the cloud. Whenever I try to sign into my Dell account, my password is wrong. Now I see all this and I'm not sure what to delete? I uninstalled my Adobe programs and it was packed with a lot of leftovers too.
Boggin:
You should delete all McAfee residue as it can still conflict.
I would leave those Dell recovery files for now and Shane will advise on those.
How did the dism and subsequent sfc commands go ?

I ran it 3 times and all reports showed the same error. Looks like there is a remote computer connecting my system.
