At this stage I would rather brick the thing trying than let this be controlled by malware!

I don't think getting a new device is out of the question and price shouldn't be a consideration in this case. For me, it's more a matter of principle and I hate admitting that there is a malware/viral infection I couldn't remove by the right combination of software or by nuking the hard drive...

From what I am reading, it appears that some of these issues I have been experiencing may be the manufacturers fault. It seems that the a33 ROMs are full of time delay trojans. I am beginning to think this may just be an expensive doorstop now...

Hmmmm... should be able to do that tonight. I will just have to figure out which AV program identified the problems. I know that there several hijackers that redirect and reset her home page all the time. The whole tablet has turned into popup hell, with Dr. Oz's ugly face being the prime...
