    Is AVG still detecting services.exe?

    Run a quick scan with malwarebytes again - Does it detect anything?.

    Still not sure if this is working properly. I've downloaded again and rerun - it has gone through all the different stages, and now says its deleting files. It lists 4 files below this, and now it appears to be stuck. Its not changed for the last 15 mins and I have lost my desktop completely (I know it says this will happen, but as nothing has now happened for a while I'm a little concerned!)

    I'm going out for lunch now, but if you have suggestions on what to do next it would be appreciated and I'll try it when I get back. Your help is very much appreciated for a non-techie person lik me!!
