    Yes this whole laptop was bought brand new from Comet ... not pc world . It was my husband that bought it everything on it is legit. My sister works at comet too so confirmed it.

    Just thought I would update...

    Its taken all this time and has frozen on the same thing for ages now :(

    It found something before though it says: Trojan.start 1505 deleted

    Do you think I should shut it and try again? its taken all this time to get this far and its not even anywhere near half way

    Shut it down

    Then run a KASPERSKY ONLINE SCAN (click to scan 'MY COMPUTER')
    http://www.kaspersky.co.uk/virusscanner
    Please post the complete log it creates (This only SCANS it DOESNT delete anything, so we'd need to see anything it finds) by selecting to save the 'report' to the desktop in 'txt' format
    The scan will likely take anywhere from 5 to 12 hours to complete!

    (Currently this isnt working, run when you can)
