Thanks for all this, Dave, but it might all be for nought.
Let me explain (and apologise for wasting your time).

While staying with my son last weekend, I discovered that
my laptop had CCleaner v5.33 on it. That's the version that
carried an 'unwanted' payload. It's now had Windows 7
reinstalled from scratch and I'm in the process of
finalising the set up.

My son suggested that I run Linux on the laptop instead of
Windows. "But how will I run VRPC?" I asked. "Easy!" he
said. "Run Windows in a virtual machine."

I'm currently trying to set up Virtualbox in Linux Mint on
my old sacrificial PC. When (or more likely, if) I succeed,
I'll set it up on the laptop. It was to be for the laptop
that I was considering using VRPC DL.

About half an hour ago, I woke from a post-lunch snooze,
cursing my inability to think properly and with the problem
solved. Who said sleep was a waste of time?

Why do I need VRPC DL when I've already got a full
StrongARM Adjust running on the laptop? Of course, I don't!
I'll just install it on Windows 7 inside Virtualbox and it
will see all the hardware it expects to see.

Right, I'll go for another kip and see if I can't solve the
problem of Brexit at the same time.

John
