    I'll have a go when I get in from work tomorrow. In my braindead state tonight I'll probably do something wrong if I try it now!

    If I power down what do I do after?

    McAfee found nothing on its full scan.

    It's McAfee that got you into this mess-of course it won't find anything. When you are clean, (hopefull via MBAM) install a decent free AV such as Avast or Avira.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
