    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)

    Its nothing to worry about. possibly changed when you installed SAS as it tries to amalgamate with IE

    Looking at your hijack ~ uninstall ASK BAR DIS (the ASK toolbar).

    Not sure why coupons back

    Download and run the FREE version of DR WEB
    http://www.freedrweb.com/download+cureit/gr/
    Turn your anti virus OFF
    It will auto QUICK scan
    After that set to scan the WHOLE computer and press the 'play' icon

    ***DO NOT UPGRADE TO FULL VERSION***

    Thanks again AlienRik. It was only the shortcut icon (for couponprinter) that had appeared I think, so just deleted it. Will check to make sure though.

    One other problem that occurs occasionally is that our WPA secured wireless network warns us that is unsecured, but when we check it, it has the padlock and says it is security enabled. (I keep remembering bits of things that go wrong or worry my OH!)

    Edit: DrWeb quick scan done and no viruses found. Did ask me about restoring a default HOST file which I did.

    Edit part deux: DrWeb Complete Scan done - it didn't like Combofix, but I told it to ignore that, and it found GDown Adware, CouponPrinter (again), Recycler and something to do with System Volume Information. It didn't explain what to do, so I saved the log file and deleted everything except Combofix.
