Good ideas, and I actually understood all of that!

Thanks for your time, I'll let you know how I make out.

Let me know what happens- after I gave my wife a disk with ad-aware and she installed it on her office PC, it found over 500 files of various malware.

Mostly tracking cookies, but some registry changes as well. Naturally, it was running like an arthritic dog, with all that garbage aboard.

Spybot and ad-aware get what each other misses, and for what it's worth, AVAST was the only anti-virus I've tried that found changes in command.com and a couple of DLL files, and fixed them. Or claimed to!
