Got it fixed
"Spyhunter" got it all out after a couple of passes.
That seemed to be necessary as on first pass it said more would
be deleted on next boot.
So after reboot I ran it again and more was removed with yet more to be
removed on next boot
So reboot again and re-run and
NOW ITS ALL GONE!
also hosts file lock cleared when I changed options in ZoneAlarm firewall
(Didnt recall setting that option!)
