No... do you think it is gone? do you know what was the culprit?

It appears to have been downloaded from your chrome synch and I missed it the second time it did that

Ok thank you. I will be more vigilant about installing chrome extensions going forward.

Do you have an external drive or a USB that you are plugging in ?

There are external drives permanently connected to the computer, but none were added between the time I ran the last scan and/or fix and the time the alert re-appeared.

I think the problem might have been that I didn't completely remove chrome from each user profile.  I uninstalled chrome again, then manually deleted each C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data folder.

Then I re-installed chrome from scratch.  Took me a while to manually add back each of the family member's bookmarks, but so far no more alerts.

Let me know if there is any other scan you would like to see to confirm my pc is now clean.

Thanks.

User cory is the one that is being reinfected

I will remove the mountpoints (they will be recreated when needed) just in case

No more alerts, but they stopped for almost a day earlier.  I can't say for sure that the problem is gone, but there is no indication of any problem at the moment!
