thanks guys, Ill give it a try

So, can any one help by looking at this...

Thanks, this is them, the screens wouldnt let me expand so I did it in two parts...

Ive done a screen shot of the pages but wouldnt be sure how to upload them to this site.

Hey, the PC confidential and Winferno messages have come up again so I dont think the scans caught them...Ive tried the online scan again but it now is coming up with the active x prompt again....

It says I am logged in as the administrator so that should be fine, I may try the scan again and see if it works, the active X thing doesnt seem to be a problem now...Thanks

It seems to be better but those things only seemed to come up intermittently (every few days) so we shall see

Hello.. ...I managed to do four of the 5 but the online-scan wouldnt work as it wouldnt let me download active x and also the 'run as admin' option wasnt on the internet explorer right-click options list... Thanks for replying, I didnt realise how much crap was on the computer.

Thanks... ...I'll give it a go.

I downloaded some add-ons as part of something else and then deleted them but one of them which is variously called PC Confidential Winferno or registry cleaner keeps appearing when I turn on the PC as prompts to buy the product, listing sites I've visited etc, which is a bit worrying. The other things deleted easily like toolbars for the internet but this wont go away. Ive tried searching the names in a search box and deleting the file locations but the messages wont stop coming up. Any help?
