Having ran McAfee virus scan the above were listed. These cannot be deletedby McAfee. Does anyone know how I can delete them or even what they are.

Thanks

you could try https://www.processlibrary.com and you type the .exe file name into it and it tells you what the process is and how to remove it and also if it is a threat or not.

Just typed the the first two .exe names into their search engine and they have come back as spyware for advertising and watching your browsing methods

actalert.exe is spyware, so are the others. Ive previously had optimize.exe

Try deleting them in explorer, if it doesn't work, boot into safe mode (F8 at bootup), and do a scan again.

Also, install some anti-spyware software, ad-aware, microsoft defender etc, and do a scan
