Were those things that the anti malware scan picked up (as mentioned above) really nasty nasties then that would have me prevented me from getting a connection?

SHUT TF UP!

Possibly/probably.

The nasties werk at different levels and some don't werk at all cos they were firkled together from on-line toolkits and the person didn't know what they doing.

They may -

disable ant-virus software and/or updates
prevent you visiting anti-virus sites to get new software or updates
point you at sites other than your usual search ones
display loads of pop-up ads and warnings
invite more nasties in, which in turn will invite more nasties

Worst infection I've cleared, was over 500 different nasties all started by one - they were a mixture of dangerous ones and just plain stupid ones, had to use 3 different bits of software and about 18 hours scanning.

There's always the devious ones that also place a copy in your restore points just for good measure or alter the registry to re-load themselves with a random name after a re-boot everytime you think you've cleared them.
It's quite challenging at times.
