Thank you so much for all your help. You are great. You presented it in an orderly way, so I'll respond the same.
1. Okay, I installed CCleaner.
2. Ad-aware and Spybot came back with nothing but tracking cookies.
3. Crazy program, I love the siren. I think I may have clicked remove on a few things I shouldn't have.
4. Okay, no problem.
5. Uh oh, a few problems.
- I don't have C:\Windows\nether.exe.
- I can't delete the MESS TEAM MFCD EXIT. It says AboutJoy.exe is being used by another person or program. (No other user is logged on, or even exists).
- Same thing.. "Cannot delete Rulefree: Access is denied..." (I deleted the other items in the folder but not rulefree)
6. This program looks useful. First I did the cleaner, then the issues and clicked fix all.
