Hi Survival... Welcome to TSF

It could still be a security issue. Especially if if you did find some 'nasties' on your machine. It sounds as if the machine was contaminated. Using the 'regular' removal tools available does not remove ALL nasties. many get renamed/hidden/disguised and generally undetectable by normal removal means.

I STRONGLY suggest that you treat the machine as infected and re post your concerns in our Security Section here.
Once posted there, only our TRAINED & QUALIFIED analysts can respond - It may not be a quick fix, but it will get fixed.

It is essential that you read this post first.

As a precaution - I will close this thread

Good luck
