    I'm glad you're feeling better fredc. I was really concerned about your mental state when you started going Bob Dole on us and using 3rd person self reference.

    Eset is slowwww, i only run it once in a blue moon because of it , it will quarantine all that it finds and delete them though so thats good.

    It won't be the first time i challenged a toolbar or piece of malware to a death match , this is totally normal behavior i think, not positive though.

    I just ran the CCleaner installer again.
    What toolbar?

    No unknown toolbars appear in:

    • IE10
    • PM
    • Windows Explorer

    Update
    I'm currently running the ESET scan.
    ESET is complaining about something.
    Since it is scanning my entire PC, it will be several hours before I can investigate.

    It is free from here: CCleaner - Download
    A little advice here. Don't ever clean up the register with this product. CCleaner is at its best as it arrives set up in the default mode. You can choose some other OS areas to clean up as you gain experience using this product. You could brick your install of Windows if the wrong items are cleaned or deleted. So be advised.

    You do have other choices. Try Glary Utilities is a lot like CCleaner, maybe a few more features. Here is the link for you to check out. Glary Utilities | Glarysoft
