I am very pleased to say that my computer is now nicely cleaned up! Computer was started in safe mode and then a very good friend who knows more than me ran Malware Bytes.0

Nice one.
Mbam should always be run in normal mode wherever possible, using it's chameleon feature when mbam wont run due to infection.

I always allow the regular updates for these but will check to make sure they are up to date. Thanks.0

I am so grateful! 0
