You may like to read my 2 earlier posts to your reply which are the 2 posts
after this post before reading this post to make sense of where I am with the
removal of whse .
           I ran the Mcfee scan and it found no problems .
      
The entry of whse remains in the msconfig Startup Programs and I have found
entries in the Registry :
  HKEY_CURRENT USER_Software\Microsoft\SearchAssistant\ACMru\5603 and 6504 .
   Now I am going back to the site I downloaded the Mcfee scan from to check
with the entries there that should be removed to remove whse .
   Do you think after I have deleted those entries I could find any more
entries related to whse in any other registry locations because I had to
search manually to find the entries I've found to now .
   thankyou for reading
     and , it's a very cold winter's night in Auckland
        but it's warm inside
