You are running more than one Anti-Virus program on your computer which is a no-no. Two of them will have to go.
Webroot AntiVirus with Spy Sweeper
avast! Free Antivirus
iolo AntiVirus

    Wow! I feel dumb. I corrected and tried again with no luck. I only have spy sweeper for antivirus, which is disabled. the others were just blank files i missed in removal. Combo fix trys to update to newer program about every 3rd time I run it. It also errors during restore.   Error Saving File\erdnt\Hiv-backup\security!  It does this 3 times. I continue past. Then I'll get a forth error   Error Saving File\erdnt\Hiv-backup\users\00000003\ntuser,dat!

    Ok. Delete ComboFix from your desktop and download a new version and run the scan again, not the script, and send me the log.

    Please download ComboFix from BleepingComputer.com

    Alternate link: GeeksToGo.com

    Alternate link: Forospyware.com

    Rename ComboFix.exe to commy.exe before you save it to your Desktop
    • Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools ]A guide to do this can be found here
    • Click Start>Run then copy paste the following command into the Run box & click OK "%userprofile%\desktop\commy.exe" /stepdel
    • As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal.
    • Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console


    Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

    Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:


    • Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.
    • When finished, it shall produce a log for you.  Please include the contents of C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.

      It now tells me it is expired and closes. I've tried 3 different downloads and running six ways. I always lose my connection to internet and am unable to repair it. It gives me an error about the IP address. I restart to connect. This takes about 5-8 minutes to do.

          Suspicious file scan

          C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\cxxqtr.sys* At the upload site, click once inside the window next to Browse.

          * Next click Submit file
          * Your file will possibly be entered into a queue which normally takes less than a minute to clear.
          * This will perform a scan across multiple different virus scanning engines.
          * Important: Wait for all of the scanning engines to complete.
          * Once the scan is finished, Copy and then Paste the link in the address bar into your next reply.

          Also scan these two files and post the link to the results.

          Code: [Select]
          C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\rewac.sys
          Code: [Select]
          C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\sdfsaevy.sys
          ----------

          Next post please add the OTM log and the 3 links to the files that were scanned at Jotti.
