My misunderstanding ...

Photodex was already uninstalled ...

I have a license for Nero v7 ... those installers came from Ahead Software ... but were deleted anyway.

Freecommander, Unlocker and DVD2SVCD are freeware, and debatably malware, and none of these are installed nor available to "add/remove programs" ... however, all installers were deleted.

MS Office CD iso deleted ...

All installers that have a keygen have been deleted ...

Ok good.

Please tell me any problems that you face now.
I will think some steps to overcome.

Thanks!

This computer is much better behaved now. The only problems is that "something" still opens tabs in Firefox, but it happens only infrequently ... not too invasive, but it still indicates something is wrong.

I'll certainly let you know if anything else appears to be mis-behaved ...

Try this

First,
Reset FireFox

  • Close all browser. (Including this one)
  • Click on Start > Run..., right click on the box and choose paste.
  • In the open window, select Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults.
  • Click on Make Changes and Restart.
  • After FireFox restarts click on Check for Updates...
