Then,- Right click AdwCleaner.exe & choose "Run as administrator" to run it.
 - Click Delete.
 - Click OK to the prompt.

I think its 'ok'..... I seem to have inherited 'people I am following'.... (I actually dont follow anyone) I have deleted them, twice now. That came about after the Malware....
I will have to do restore tasks at the weekend, I find it too challenging at this time of night lol.
Thanks0
