Here's my logfile from DelFix.  If it did what I think it did (delete the many tools we used to scan and clean my system) that is an absolutely brilliant little piece of software!

Naathim, I am MORE THAN happy to donate to buy part of a new HDD (or a beer or two) for you. Thank you so, so much for your time and dedication to helping me sort out what I did to my poor computer.  You're my hero of the month!

 

I'm working through the list of programs you recommended for installation, but I'm running a new back-up first to make sure that I'm replacing the old, infected back-up.

 

Thanks again!!
