    Looks like you have downloaded Adware Pro by mistake which is a rogue programme instead of Ad-Aware (Lavasoft).

    Would be advisable to double check programmes before downloading just to make sure they are okay, a safe place for most general downloads is http://filehippo.com/

  • Just like to say thank you to everyone who has helped us on the site with the problem we have had.

    We have now formated, no virus, just putting back on backed up files.

    A HUGE THANKYOU
