OK, forgot about just being in the malware section! Thank you again SO much for your help. Will do the above stuff & hope that resolves the rest, or start another thread in the appropriate other section of forum! Cheers! Hope you have a good one!

Sorry, thought you were rid of me on this one… did the Farbar fix… yesterday arvo. Was still going last night… and this morning still apparently going, I can’t even x out of it! Should I shut it down with task manager or shut the whole computer down, or…? Just thought I’d check that it’s not going to wreck something.

Just kill it with task manager, rerun the fix in safe mode. If it does not run then not a big deal, as these are just file remnants and nothing to worry about.
