You are most welcome DougH Let's turn over a few more rocks to see what else we may find. - Download eScan's mwav application HERE *Launch mwav *Select all local drives *Scan all files *Click 'scan' When it has completed, what was found will be displayed in the lower pane.

Except for a few minor entries that log looks good. You mentioned having uninstalled NetZero so I have included a few leftovers entries to clean up. Place a check mark for these entries.
