    I'd run an antivirus from a bootable CD/USB. I often find they pick up things that hide themselves when Windows is running.

    I'm a big fan of Avast's Rescue Disc. Unfortunately you have to install Avast antivirus to get it (but you can uninstall it after creating the CD/USB).

    Once you've booted the CD/USB and run a scan, reboot into Windows and run MalwareBytes and adwCleaner again.

    Thanks that is a good idea, it is a shame they insist it be installed onto a PC first, I will see if I can find a standalone download that can be burned to USB/CD.
