    I’ve tried Malwarebytes and Super anti spyware, but they didn’t clear it out. At present I’ve got MSconfig on selective startup with mediafix and antimal unticked. This is holding it off. I’ve manually deleted all references in the folders and registry, except one. When I search the C: drive for mediafix, it comes up with 1 entry. I can’t delete it or open its location. From properties, it gives its location as dlmenow.in/medifix70700en02.exe. I don’t know why this comes in a search of the C: drive and I don’t want to turn off the selective startup until I know how to fix. Previously, turning the selective startup off, even with all its references deleted, just reinstalled the software. Thanks
