Ok thank you all for your help. Now, my car won’t start, any offers to sort that out? 
Final question, I am going to do some ‘housekeeping’, is it ok to delete all the logs now?
Nope, let me do that for you 
Subject to no further problems
I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems
Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean 
A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

: Keep Java Updated :
WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article
I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)
If you do need to keep Java then download JavaRa
Run the programme and select Remove Java Runtime. Uninstall all versions of Java present
Once done then run it again and select Update Java runtime > Download and install Latest version

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:
CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.

Thanks EB, I’ve disabled java for now, I think there is a site I use that needs java, I did uninstall it quite a while ago and had to reinstall.
I will uninstall if I don’t need it any more, and keep it disabled until needed ( if I do need it).
Thank you :-*
My pleasure
Everything has been working well since the fix but today it seems windows cannot update. I have a pop up which I have taken a screen shot of and attached. I tried to update manually and failed. Also attached is the windows error notice. Any ideas what might be wrong now? ???
Click the resolve online now hyperlink as windows does not think your copy is genuine
It is telling me that I have to purchase genuine windows!
You may have:
•Downloaded software that attempts to bypass Windows activation, commonly called an activation exploit
•Downloaded malware that has infected your PC and modified, removed, or disabled essential Windows files
•Inadvertently purchased counterfeit Windows from an unreliable source (how can I tell?)
To fix this, install genuine Windows and activate with a valid product key.
I can’t afford £79 to install new windows. Can I use my recovery discs? This has to be from the re-image >:(
Follow the steps here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/activate-windows#1TC=windows-7
Followed the instructions and it said windows is activated. There is no option to activate windows.
I will contact mocrosoft support and let you know what they are saying. I’ve had this computer for 3 years and now they say it isn’t genuine so hopefully they will be able to do something. Thanks again EB.
Sorted, still don’t know how it happened but microsoft support were great, they fixed it remotely after ages trying to find the right code. Kept asking me if I had the cd but it was pre loaded. In the end I looked at the bottom of the laptop and there it was, a sticker on the bottom with the key.
After 2+ hours with microsoft, who said the problem was now fixed the pop up is back today. >:(
Could I have a screenshot of the popup
New one just appeared.
