    excellent help thank you – this saved a costly trip to the PC doctor!
    although I use AOL which apparently doesn’t work in safe mode, so once in safe mode I did a system restore, then downloaded the anti-malware, and cleaned up my PC.

    It states that certain files cannot be deleted when I perform the scan. Is there anything else I can do?

    Stu, Malwarebytes should ask you for reboot and remove these files during Windows loading.
