~S~ Chaps,
Well there is no arguing with Kelly on that one ! LOL
Seriously, I to have had to reformat the family PC around a month ago for exactly the same reasons as you Tom !
Already it has caught another one of these trojan things and it will NOT system restore and Malwarebytes , ESET, AVG rootkit, AdAware, Reg cleaner etc cannot get rid of it even in "safe mode".
I will try the method above asap.
Thanks Nick, Tom, but most of all Kelly ! LOL
