I ran Hitman and it found no threats, but found 2130 traces. Don't know if removing the "traces" would have any effect, but it would cost $25 to do that. And the bug persists.

Your screen shot from Hitman showed "no threat" no need to try 30 Day free trial. Did you go to steps 4 thru 6?

If you have followed the six steps and the problem persists try posting your problem in the forums below for help:

it just takes me to a page to purchase the software... no steps 4-6

Thanks for trying.

I'll try the malware forums.

STEP 4: Use Zemana AntiMalware Free to remove Potentially Unwanted Programs

Step 5 OPTIONAL) STEP 5: Double-check for malicious programs with Emsisoft Emergency Kit

When Hitman didn't respond as expected (never got the option to activate free trial) I stopped.

It *appears* that the next step, running Zemana, may have done the trick!!

Fingers crossed.

And thanks for your help!!

and I appear to be rid of my bugs!!!!

Thanks so much douglas9!
