    Download SUPERANTISPYWARE (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_superantispyware/
    UPDATE and PERFORM COMPLETE SCAN
    (Then goto console and LOGS and post the log it created then untick it from STARTING UP WITH WINDOWS)
    :idea:

    It's been working pretty well since the malware was used.

    The file ULCDRSvr.exe that was taking all the CPU time reduced in size and stopped running after that one. GLARY Utilities seemed to clean up a lot of old links in the registry.

    Nothing else found and Symantec is still running well.

    Should I remove any of this software now it has been run? Thinking of keeping the Malware & Hijack this programs as they are useful

    If your happy with the way things are then sure, do as you please (But I recommend leaving hijack alone)

    Things seem good at the moment. Looks like it's all clean. Only thing I'm removing is the superantispyware.

    Thanks for you help Alienrik (and others).

    I'm going to take all the software and run it on the in-laws pc as they have no end of problems on theirs. See if we can get it back to how it was :)
