Re: malware still present after s&d

Hi LOngthwaite, You could try removing them in safemode but i would be more inclined to download these two freeware scanners & see what they do, you may find that these scanners pick up a few more nasties (also what anti virus are you using and did it not detect these items of malware?)

Malwarebytes.org

SUPERAntiSpyware.com - AntiAdware. AntiSpyware. AntiMalware.

I also found this just in case it is of help

Hi LOngthwaite, install VIPRE Antivirus - The Best Antivirus Protection - Sunbelt Software and run a full scan.
