Hooray, done it at last. When I first ran the Windows Cleanup Installer utility I could not see Roxio anywhere in the list of installs. However, I decioded to try it again today and found in the list an item listed as All Users 10.1.125 with no name by it to identify it. I thought that this could be the Roxio 10.1 installer and decided to remove it anyway. Sure enough it was the right thing to do.and resolved my problem. Thanks to everybody for sticking with me on this one.
I know this may not be a Virus/Spyware problem but the boys on the MS OS forun suggested that somebody here may be able to help with this particular problem. I am runnning Eset NOD 32 av and Mawarebytes on demand. Nothing untoward revealed after deep scans. Here is a link to my original forum post which oulines the problem: [URL] Shaun
