Got it fixed

"Spyhunter" got it all out after a couple of passes.

That seemed to be necessary as on first pass it said more would

be deleted on next boot.

So after reboot I ran it again and more was removed with yet more to be

removed on next boot

So reboot again and re-run and

NOW ITS ALL GONE!

 

also hosts file lock cleared when I changed options in ZoneAlarm firewall

(Didnt recall setting that option!)
