Also downloaded Avast & run that several times....nothing.
Why is it that Spyhunter finds it & nothing else does ??

Update........
So finally think I have got rid of this bstard thing.
However every time I connect to the internet with either Google, Firefox or IE I still get loads of pop up ads.
As far as I know I have all the pop up blockers set everywhere.
Anything else I need to look at ???

If you want me to have a look, download FRST from the link below and save it to your Desktop.

LINK

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system - 32bit or 64bit.

• Right click frst.exe and choose "Run as administrator"
• Click Yes to disclaimer.
• Click the Scan button.
• It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from (Desktop).
• The first time the tool is run it generates another log Addition.txt - also located in the same directory.

email me both logs - I'll PM you my email address

That is very kind of you.
If you would PM me your email address I will send you the logs.

Thanks.

Go here and read through the instructions for downloading and running ComboFix:

Bleeping Computer ComboFix Tutorial

• IMPORTANT! Ensure you temporarily turn off Avast before running.
  Instructions here
• Save combofix to your desktop.
• Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts closely.
• Combofix may reboot the PC several times.
• When it's finished, it will automatically produce a log. email me the contents of that log.
• It can also be found on your C:\ drive named combofix.txt

Above all, BE PATIENT! and let it run it's course. It may take combofix slightly longer than stated.

It would have been quicker to format your hard disk and reinstall Windows. That will definitely get rid of nasties and will take a few hours factoring in getting all the updates and putting back any other programmes.

If you create a disk image at this point then restoring the computer is even quicker in the future.

Thanks to everybody for all their help.
I have now finally got rid of all this cr*p......
In the end the fix was so simple.
I downloaded ADWCleaner again, but before running it I CLOSED any browser I had open.
ADWCleaner found the cr*p immediately & removed it !!
