    Well that was a mammoth exercise and I was so pleased that Sophos pronounced it clean as I didn't fancy another sixteen and a half hours of scanning which I guess you may have asked me to do if there had been a problem. It has shown m what a lot of rubbish is on the pc and that it definitely needs a spring clean.
    When you pronounce it clean am I able to remove all the downloaded programs and files associated with this problem

    Your computer is clean [img=[URL]https://www.bleepstatic.com/fhost/uploads/6/snag-0004.jpg][/URL]

    1. This step will remove all cleaning tools we used, it'll reset restore points (so you won't get reinfected by accidentally using some older restore point) and it'll make some other minor adjustments...
    This is a very crucial step so make sure you don't skip it.
    Download [​IMG]DelFix by Xplode to your desktop. Delfix will delete all the used tools and logfiles.

    Double-click Delfix.exe to start the tool.
    Make sure the following items are checked:
    • Activate UAC (optional; some users prefer to keep it off)
    • Remove disinfection tools
    • Create registry backup
    • Purge System Restore
    • Reset system settings
    Now click "Run" and wait patiently.
    Once finished a logfile will be created. You don't have to attach it to your next reply.

    2. Make sure Windows Updates are current.

    3. If any trojans, rootkits or bootkits were listed among your infection(s), make sure, you change all of your on-line important passwords (bank account(s), secured web sites, etc.) immediately!

    4. Check if your browser plugins are up to date.
    Firefox - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    other browsers: https://browsercheck.qualys.com/ (click on "Scan without installing plugin" and then on "Scan now")

    5. Run Malwarebytes "Quick scan" once in a while to assure safety of your computer.

    6. Run Temporary File Cleaner (TFC) and AdwCleaner weekly (you need to redownload these tools since they were removed by DelFix).

    7. (optional) If you want to keep all your programs up to date, download and install FileHippo App Manager.
    The Update Checker will scan your computer for installed software, check the versions and then send this information to FileHippo.com to see if there are any newer releases.

    8. When installing\updating ANY program, make sure you always select "Custom " installation, so you can UN-check any possible "drive-by-install" (foistware), like toolbars etc., which may try to install along with the legitimate program. Do NOT click "Next" button without looking at any given page.

    9. Read:
    How did I get infected?, With steps so it does not happen again!: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic2520.html

    About those Toolbars and Add-ons - Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) which change your browser settings: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/for...curity-questions-best-practices/#entry3187642

    10. Please, let me know, how your computer is doing.

    Thank you for your help Broni I have done all the suggested tasks and read all the other stuff. I do run Malwarebytes regularly and will continue to do so.

    I am still confused as to why Blue Mail showed this presumably rogue email on my pc when it did not show in Blue Mail on my tablet or in my ISP's webmail. Have you any idea why this happened? Incidentally Blue Mail is being consigned to the bin!
    Again my thanks.

    Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to your last question.

    Anyway, good luck and stay safe :)
