I noticed you didn't include spyware scans for those free
downloads to help with everything they promise but don't
tell you about startup programs and registry items
that fool with your pc. If you don't have reliable
spyware removal, you can spybot free at

I suggest you run it and check for problems. Its going to
run for a while. When its finish scanning fix what is
checked off. Some of these registry items are in memory
so if it ask you to start at next boot reply yes.
It has an automatic backup so you can restore fixes.
You'll also need to remove startup registry items also ,

You can provide a log to them and they will interpret
your log. Just follow their directions.
