Ok, this thing crops up every time I try to shut down the system. Takes 2 or 3 attempts to cancel/end now to get shut.
What is it?, why do I have it?, and how the ffff do I get rid of it?. System appears fine in all other respects

As stated in the post just below this one now it is a trojan virus. Follow steps in other thread to wipe it."If you no longer go for a gap, you are no longer a racing driver" - Ayrton Senna0 -
