    Thanks, I got the file. We now need to delete the partition.

    Download ListParts from the link below & save it to your Desktop.

    LINK
    • Double click ListParts.exe to run it
    • Press the Scan button.
    • After a short scan, a log will open. Result.txt will also be on your Desktop.
    • Post the contents of the log.

    That's better - all gone.

    If you don't already have it, download and install Malwarebytes free.

    http://helpdesk.malwarebytes.org/entries/20839693-where-can-i-download-the-latest-version-of-malwarebytes-anti-malware
    http://helpdesk.malwarebytes.org/entries/20839693-where-can-i-download-the-latest-version-of-malwarebytes-anti-malware

    When you install it, uncheck the box at the end where it says: Enable free trial of Malwarebytes Anti-malware PRO
    Do however ensure the boxes Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware are checked

    Run a quick scan.

    http://helpdesk.malwarebytes.org/entries/20863072-how-to-run-a-quick-scan

    Post the resulting log file, should it detect anything..
  • Thank you so much for your help, Waddler. After seeing the log, I didn't want to get too excited, just in case.

    I have Malwarebytes installed. I actually did a quick scan this morning which didn't bring anything up but will run it again and send you the log file if anything does come up.

    Thanks once again. Apologies for taking up most of your Sunday. Have a good week.
