Whoever heard of surrepticiously installed crapware (Windows 10) you couldn't delete? Doesn't matter. Booted Ubuntu 15.04 Live CD. Chose Try Ubuntu, which lets you use Ubuntu without installing it. When the desktop came up clicked on the Nautilus file manager icon in the Unity launch bar. Selected OS disk (C: in Windows land), found the $Windows.~BT directory, pressed delete and a quarter second later it's all gone. No "you don't have permission" popup and no "you must have trusted installer's permission to delete this," Windows is not my mammy, the trojan the other trojan installed is gone forever.
Reboot into Windows and my work computer is once again mine. For now. Now I have to do the entire process for my home computer. Wonder if Win 10 lives there? If so, not for long.....
