Thanks Juan. Here's what I've done so far I have AVG free running all the time I have Spybot search and destroy running all the time. I ran a spybot manual scan and it found nothing. I ran a AVG scan and it found nothing. I downloaded Malwarebytes anti-malware software and it found like 20 items (not cookies). That a giant difference between nothing and 20. So now I'll see if that fixed the problem. As in the past, it doesn't seem like you can ever rely on just one scanner.
