    That looks good. Were you able to install a new AV? If there are no other issues, it's time for some cleanup.

    Delete the Combo-Fix.exe file, C:\Combo-Fix folder, C:\QooBox folder, C:\WINDOWS\nircmd.exe, C:\combo-fix.txt and C:\Combo-Fix-quarantined-files.txt

    You may have a problem deleting one of the folders (nircma.exe) In that case, delete all the files in the folder that you can and leave it.

    To turn off Windows XP System Restore:

    NOTE: These instructions assume that you are using the default Windows XP Start Menu and have not changed to the Classic Start menu. To re-enable the default menu, right-click Start, click Properties, click Start menu (not Classic) and then click OK.

    1. Click Start.
    2. Right-click the My Computer icon, and then click Properties.
    3. Click the System Restore tab.
    4. Check "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives"
    5. Click Apply.
    6.  When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click Yes to do this.
    7. Click OK.
    8. Restart the computer and follow the instructions in the next section to turn on System Restore.

    To turn on Windows XP System Restore:

    1. Click Start.
    2. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

    5. Click Apply, and then click OK.

    Clean out your temporary internet files and temp files.

    Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop.

    Double-click TFC.exe to run it.

    Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator

    TFC will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.

    * Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process.
    * Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two.
    * Please let TFC run uninterrupted until it is finished.

    Once TFC is finished it should restart your computer. If it does not, please manually restart the computer yourself to ensure a complete cleaning.

      Yes.  I installed Comodo Antivirus.  I lost my firewall, but found out I could reinstall the firewall fairly easy.  I reinstalled the firewall and all seems to be working fine.

      I couldn't find any C:\Combo "anything" folders.
      I could't find  C:\WINDOWS\nircmd.exe

      I did delete any combo fix files, like logs, that I could find.  Also,  C:\QooBox had a Folder called BackEvn that said access denied when I tried to delete it.  It says make sure the disk is not full or write protected or to make sure the file is not in use.

      No problems with the restore step and the TFC steps.

      It asked me to update internet exporere, which I don't use.  But just in case I might need to use it or another user would like to use it, I wanted to update it.  Secunia gave me a link to Windows update and about 20 or so links showing me which updates I'm missing.  But, when I ran the Windows Update from the Microsoft site, it said I wasn't missing any updates.  What am I missing here, I must be missing something very obvious.



      Thanks

      Yes. That folder can't be deleted. Just clean out all the files that you can in the folder and leave it there.
