    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.

    Many thanks to mitchell and dinesh,i ran spybot s&d with the teatimer disabled and unchecked don't show hidden files and folders, hide extentions ect, hide protected files, ran as adminisrator did'nt work,so i downloaded malwarebytes.org
    ran a scan and it got rid of the two problems i knew i had but also found somemore that it cured as well,obviously i backed up the system first with erunt, can't thank you both enough, regards, LW.
