Thanks, will do
The laptop is slow and I'm still having to run Chrome as current user with the protection box unchecked.
The other programs like IE, Malwarebytes etc still won't load. Avast still appears to run.Always get a Qualified opinion - My qualifications are that I am OLD and GRUMPY:p:p0 -

Yes, no worries. Things look ok at this stage. I'd also be interested to know if rkill still detects ZeroAccess. It creates a log at the root of your system drive, eg:
C:\rkill.log0
