Right. Cleared password settings, restarted computer. Made no difference.

Interesting what you say about Norton. It seems that everyone criticises whatever they don't use

According to this review Norton and Malware bytes are both very highly rated. Why is there a need to run 2?

Malwarebytes can be run as a sort of AV, but it's better at finding stuff that other AV software bypasses. Norton is ****. As I said before, if you install and run both of those programs and they come back with no viruses your PC is fine and you can relax.

Ron I know what I'm talking about ffs...

Norton has traditionally been slated for about 2 decades. Back then, quite rightly so - processor & memory hogging crap.

I'm sure you do Toby. I'm just a little reluctant to run another antivirus on top of the Norton De Lux I currently have.

Norton has been slated for decades (mainly as a resource gobbler) but it is one of the most advanced products out there (see Tech Advisor Review http://www.techadvisor.co.uk/test-c...2017-free-paid-antivirus-reviews-3651652/#toc). However, I think the problem may lie with the fact that I use Microsoft Edge (as I like the "Add to Favs /Reading List" feature) which apparently causes problems for antivirus checkers because of its lack of extensions. I think I'll have a look at some forums to see what they say.

I am grateful for your assistance Toby and I might end up following you suggestion

Another top tip if you suspect the hard disk or the file system is giving you problems is...

Open a command prompt and enter the command format /FS:NTFS c: to restore your disk to pristine condition <ok>

Happy daze.
