Thanks for your help. I deleted a program that was downloaded without my knowledge, then rebooted and the PUP was gone. I realize it may how up again so I have printed off your instructions in case I might need them in the future.
Thank you for taking the time to post your reply, it must have taken a fair bit of valuable time.

With appreciation,
