    No need to zip it, just post it the same as you have the others.
  • ^ is that what I have done? or have I been silly and copy and pasted the wrong thing?

    Let me know if I need to repeat the process

    Sorry, missed it.

    Uninstall these programs:

    File Opener Pro
    Java 7 Update 21


    Then open an elevated command prompt (tutorial here) and at the cursor type or copy/paste:

    sc delete McOobeSv2

    (note the spaces sc_delete_McOobeSv2)
  • yikes how do I uninstall them?

  • Just following your instructions now.

    There are other programmes on here such as "real tek card reader" and stuff that sound like it's to do with "Games" -we don't play games on here. Is that to do with the virus??

    No.

    Delta search wasn't a "virus" - it was simply a toolbar & part of some other stuff that got bundled when you installed software.

    You can see it all installed between 18.45 and 19.02 on the 13 oct.

  • Ok, yes that date sound about right - the software for photos weren't even for me they were for a colleague at work I was trying to help save some pennies lol

    So you think the programmes I have mentioned are nothing to worry about?

    thanks
