Hi, thanks for info. Appreciated. I had a bad feeling re SpyHunter...one of these days I'm going to listen to my really strong Pisces intuition! 
Unfortunately, I can't uninstall because, as I mention below, I'm in Safe Mode Internet now as I can't log into Windows . . .

I think I messed up when in msconfig/services . . .OMG, I think I need a remote assist to get it resolved. I'm not sufficiently proficient on my own in this instance.
