Just plain HELP!!!

Thank you, but to be honest I have been getting help from here and slowly working through the issues, and it is begining to behave it'self and realise who is boss I will bear your advise in mind if it starts to play up agaoin though.

I would uncheck everything shown there and on the Startup tab (besides AV), then after restarts check back to see if anything has written itself back in. Turn it off in its Program Preferences or uninstall it.

The only reason the Epson software needs to be starting with Windows and running in background is if you need the ability to scan to desktop by simply pressing the Scan button on printer.

To try to find any remnants of MacAfee run CCleaner "Run Cleaner" and Registry tab, clean up Reg items found.

Next type MacAfee into Start Search box, delete any files it finds.

Then type Regedit into Start Search box, rightclick on result above, Run as Admin, Click on Edit tab, Select Find, type MacAfee in to find and then delete any remaining Reg Keys.

Ok will do, lets see what that turns up :)

Okay, I have done all that, I found one more Macafee entry which I deleted, nothing else is showing up in any searches - good eh.

Can I ask you another question please, I may need to put this in another thread but I will give it a go. I keep hitting the touch pad when typing and sending the cursor shooting off all over the place.
I have been in the mouse devices and disabled it and tick disable when mouse is in USB but it is still functioning, how can I stop it??

Set a System Restore point, Plug in the USB mouse, go into Device Manager to figure out which is the touchpad mouse driver, disable it until you need touchpad.

You may need to tame the touchpad further by uninstalling it's software (Synaptics pointing device?) so that only the driver is used and can be disabled in Dev. Mgr.

Thank you I will give that a go.

It is proving difficult to remove. I have gone through all the normal methods of inactivating it, but although everything shows disable, it still merrily trundles around the screen

What is the make/model of the touchpad device, and does it have it's software installed?

If so, uninstall the software. Restart to automatically reinstall just the driver.

Then in Dev Mgr. disable the driver.
