I was about to say do NOT delete everything SB finds, but
apparently it worked out for you. There are some serious bugs
in SB that they refuse to fix even after years. I believe it
started with v1.3 or 13. I can't recall what they are exactly
now, in the name is something like "Local Machine Lockdown" in
a key, and another key about "iexplore". Letting it fix one of
them blocks access to the internet, but I can't remember what
consequences the other one causes. Sometimes it won't even
"fix" it on some PC's, sometimes it does not on others. Some
can allow the fix with no problem, others can allow it and have
some bad issues.

Did that and Spybot found a few things but my problem is still
there.
I also opted to run Spybot during the reboot.
No help so far.
