Well after all my problems, the only thing left which I might just live with to save cocking it up again is that when I tried to install McAfee as advised, it keeps telling me that Microsoft Essential Virus Scan needs to be deleted as it is incompatable.

The trouble is I deleted that when I had to reinstall AVG as that was the only one that would work. So apparentley there is still a part of Micro virus scan hiding somewhere. I even tried a special cleanup tool from Microsoft which is supposed to completely remove all traces, but that hasn't worked either.

I did a regedit and looked for something there but couldn't see anything related, surely there is some way I can get a list of ALL the files and then delete from there if it shows up.

I'm a bit nervous about only having AVG now after what happened before!
