Quote from: Gortex;360509Cheers for all the advice chaps and sorry for not responding sooner, been struck down with the extremely dangerous and very serious Man Flu and brain only just starting to work again.

Have installed Malwarebytes and it seems to have removed the problem as have not had anything else happen. Will run several checks and scans to make sure it is all gone but as Tut says a complete re-install is best thing needed but before I run that will be making some back up’s of stuff I don't want to lose like pic's, music and COD4 toon save etc.

I'd be wary about backing things up AFTER you've confirmed a malware infection...

Don't know if anyone's mentioned it but I've used a Kapersky anti-virus boot disk in the past to clean up a friends PC; and before anyone starts yes they are still my friends because it worked.
Stick it in, boot from disk clean system. Worked a charm.
I do exactly what the little voices tell me to.

PC Specs:- Black box with some fans that go whirrr, a few lights, things inside that get warm, headphones, keyboard (a clicky one), mouse (with buttons and no squeak), disks (2-off SSD and HDD) and a monitor of sufficient proportions.

You can also boot windows in safe mode and scan the system. Works wonders killing the pesky services
