Could you go to the chest and expand the path so that we can see it in its entirety

GOT IT!  So the resolution was SO simple... and downloading those diagnostic programs and collecting all the logs turned out to be completely unnecessary (and, in this case, non-helpful).  Thank you essexboy for the heads-up that it was an email causing the issue, once I posted a screenshot of the detection (and thank you Pondus for suggesting that I do that).  I stupidly hadn't looked closely at the full path of the Object in the detection notification before... but once essexboy mentioned it was an email problem I hovered over the detection Object, saw the full path, which showed the email folder in my Windows Live Mail that the problem email was in.  It happened to be an old folder that I didn't need to save, so I deleted all the emails in there, then deleted them from the deleted folder.  And bam, detections instantly stopped, and here 24 hours later so far so good.

It does seem strange to me that it was an old email in an old folder that was causing the issue (more than 2 years old).  Does anyone suggest anything at this point to make sure I'm clear?  Thanks again.

That is the beauty of the chest, if you expand it you can see the actual culprit  ;D

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

: Keep Java Updated :

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article and this article.
I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Download and install FileHippo update checker and run it monthly it will show you which programmes on your system need updating and give a download link

If you use on-line banking then as an added layer of protection install Trusteer Rapport

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated. To keep your operating system up to date visit To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read our little guide  How did I get infected in the first place ?Keep safe  :wave:

Hmmm, oops never saw this last post.  I had already uninstalled the diagnostic programs (through add/remove programs).  I hope that was ok.  BTW, once I deleted the infected email I haven't had an issue since.  It was SUCH a simple fix, no diagnostic tools of any kind were needed.  In fact, all those diagnostic tools and tests couldn't find the problem!!  What a waste of time!
