    Run this scan, you may need to install active x
    http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml This got rid of stuff malwarebytes didn't detect. You may need to stop Norton anti-virus running for an hour whilst this runs.
    My suggestion and/or advice is my own and it is up to you if you follow it, please check the advice given before acting on it.
