Re OTL ScanThe Following OTL scan did not open two different scan results in Notepad as the instructions said that it would, but rather, only one. I ran the program twice in case it was just a glitch, but both times, only one Notepad window opened with one OTL report. That report is attached, as instructed.

Re Rogue KillerI wasn't sure if I was supposed to run RogueKiller or not. The instruction page seemed to suggest that I run it if I fulfilled a condition - that did not seem to apply to me. However, I tried to run it anyway - just in case, but the link to download it did not work. If you still want me to run it, please let me know where I can get it.

Re Farbar Service Scanner I did not run this scanner as the instruction page said; If you are having internet connection problems or firewall problems then do the following": Since I am not having these specific problems, I did not download or run the program. If you wish me to, please just let me know.
___________________________________________________
The above scans and reports were on the instruction page of the link provided in the first rewponse after my initial post.
I will now look at the second response after my initial post, and will try to fulfill all of the requests there, in my next post. In turn, I will try to fulfill every scan and report request that has been made - confidently hopeful that I am not just repeating 3 days of scanning and reporting - to no avail.
Thank-you for your considerations.
