    They're pesky buggers indeed aren't they mate! Evil or Very Mad

    Firstly,I'd download the free MalwareBytes anti malware software from Malwarebytes.org and install and run a threat scan to check for Trojans and Rootkits and then quarantine any threats and then I'd consider downloading one of the free 'Real time protection' anti virus programs out there such as Avast or AVG which are at least as good as some of the paid versions out there. Smile

    Good luck mate! Smile

    Hi Andy good advice from Paul, I have BullGuard internet security now but did use AVG for a few years previously it did the job fine.
