    Have done this now



    There doesn't appear to be an AppData folder within c:\users\Dana

    There certainly will be

    You sure you set to show hidden files and folders?

    Give it one last (very long) scan with dr web

    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***

    Give it a clean (or not, upto you)

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

    Either way your good to go :)
