Run HT again and check the following items. Next, close all browser Windows, and have HT fix all checked.

You NEED to restart your computer when you're done.

Then install, update and run Spybot-S&D. Have Spybot remove all red entries.

thanks Tom41, so far ok, but when I try to run spybot SD it hangs up at " FreeScratchAndWin" I ran Adaware and it found some trackers but I still cannot get spybot to run. Any thoughts on this

much thanks, michael
