This PUP has remnants that McAfee states it can not remove. McAfee also states that Demo-LeakTest is not a threat, but it's disconcerting to be told after each virus scan that there is a problem that can't be fully resolved. I tried to delete the file McAfee names as A0018721.exe, which is buried deep beneath C:\"System Volume Information". I can not get near this file with DIR or ATTRIB from the cmd line, let alone DELETE it! This program was installed by a package designed to test my system for security, so somehow, it was installed. Does anyone know how to remove it? :'(

When msconfig opens, click the Launch System Restore Button.
On the next page, click the System Restore Settings link on the left.Check the box labelled 'Turn off System restore'.
Reboot. Go back in and Turn …
Jump to PostTry booting in safe mode as Administrator and doing it. It would seem you were able to complete the task anyway, but I know not why you got the error message.

Can have a quick look with hijackthis too, if you wish.
Jump to PostLog is clean, but you can clean up a few entries if you wish.
Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?TY...rio&pf=desktop
