    Download SPYBOT (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION' ~ make sure TEA TIMER is UNTICKED on installation)
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_spybot_search_destroy/
    UPDATE and IMMUNISE (Make sure it reads ZERO unprotected) and SCAN

    SPYBOT runs ok and found bearshare and Zlob.DNSChanger but will not let me fix the problems or immunize as it says :- This action may not be performed completely since you are not an administrator. I am signed in as the administrator though. No newer updates are available. It reads 8081 unprotected.

    Right click spybot and RUN AS ADMIN and try again

    Simple solution it's easy when you know how. That worked it was zero unprotected and when scanned it found bearshare and Zlob.DNSChanger and then fixed them. I then did a second scan and it still found Zlob.DNSChanger but not bearshare. I am now doing a 3rd scan.
    I am going away now for the weekend but hopefully will be able to connect to mobile broadband.
