Try Malwarebytes.
Oh, and check the "connections" tab in the internet Options Control Pane,, click on the lan setup button and un-check proxy if it is checked. A lot of malware sets your proxy enabled to redirect things or just be a pain.

Checked the Connections tab, proxy was not checked. Rebooting in safe mode with networking so I can download MalwareBytes.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Going back a bit -
Why wouldn't you just use a NAS with internal SATA bays?
Mainly so I can use the hard drives I have now which are cheapo USB-only ones. But with storage being so cheap these days I probably am better off getting something like your link and just transferring everything.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
For what it's worth (on an old conversation), I have an external USB hard drive plugged into my Airport Extreme wireless base station and it's been working great. (It's actually where my Time Machine backups go.)

Yeah, and a lot of the new NAS devices you can plug your USB drive into, and thus have lots of space.

Another ThinkGeek April Fools Day product is going on sale for real - and $50 less than the fake version!
iCade Game Cabinet Brings Geek Dreams to Life
LAS VEGAS — Sometimes, April Fools’ Day dreams do come true.
Less than a year after ThinkGeek created an arcade gaming cabinet for iPad as part of its annual April 1 shenanigans, Ion Audio has partnered with both the geek shopping site and Atari to bring forth the real thing.
The iCade — yup, that’s the same “product” name as the ThinkGeek gag version — looks like a miniaturized version of any typical arcade machine. The top flips open, you slide the iPad in, and wireless Bluetooth connectivity does the rest. Via the joystick and eight arcade buttons on the front console panel, you’ll be able to play games (at least from the outset) through the free iCade app.
Of course, gag gifts that appear on ThinkGeek have a weird way of coming to fruition. (Remember the saga of the Tauntaun sleeping bag?) Well, when Fred Galpern, Ion’s gaming product manager, saw the imaginary iCade pop up on ThinkGeek’s site last year, he called up the site’s brass and proposed they work together to make the dream a reality. Eventually, Atari was brought on board as a partner in supplying games for the unit — at launch, only Asteroids will be available — although Ion says it will release a developers kit, so we’ll hopefully see a slew of iCade-compatible games by year’s end.
Oddly enough, even though the fake iCade retailed for $150 on ThinkGeek, the real iCade will undercut that by $50, despite knowing in advance that thousands of people would gladly pay such a price point. But $100 is all you’ll need to plunk down at ionaudio.com or thinkgeek.com (yes, the site will be selling an exclusive ICade that looks like the April Fools’ version) if you want to relive some ’80s gaming glory days on your iPad.
