    Do you mean it's all OK. My computer is very slow at times but otherwise fine. Mind you, it was running OK before all this started. Anyway, thanks for all your help. This has certainly taught me a lesson, not to be taken in by these people. I'm normally sooo careful, but I just couldn't navigate away from the page until I'd agreed to take the product. Next time I'll just log off!! Thanks for everything.

    Cleaning up the registries etc might make it a little quicker

    Download CCLEANER
    http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds/downloading-slim
    Run the CLEANER scan (UNTICK 'cookies')
    Then run the REGISTRY scan (Backup the registry when it asks)

    reboot
    Download GLARY UTILITIES
    http://www.glaryutilities.com/download/gusetup_slim.exe
    Run the ONE CLICK scan
    Goto MODULES / SYSTEM TOOLS / WINDOWS STANDARD TOOLS / then run SYSTEM FILE CHECKER

    Hi thanks for that, I'll do it in a minute. You might be interested to know (or you might not) that I've just had another pop up supposed to be from Windows saying that I have got umpteen trojans and umpteen infected files. I've re-booted and was just going to run another scan. I've obviously let them in somehow and just don't know how to get rid.

    Also ~
    Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
    Click MAIN MENU then DO A SYSTEM SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE(Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
    (do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log)

    (I need to see whats running again, too many logs all over the place)

    Just done that, it's taken over 1 hour and hasn't found any infections. Yippee. Now going to download Hijack and so a system scan using that. Hope that doesn't take over an hour!!

    I've downloaded HIJACK THIS but all that's coming up is a page which is more like a sales pitch. It shows thumbnails of pages from the web site but I can't get onto it. Am I being stupid again or what? When I did a scan on Registry Cleaner it found 169 problems; the shortcut fixer, 4 problems; Start up manager 2 problems Temp files cleaner 60.21 MB files and no problems with the spyware remover. It did invite me to correct the issues, but I didn't this time; should I have done. Going to bed now - goodnight and thank you.
