Virus Was "Removed" but Still seems to be around

[SuperDave]

was also having a problem where the 1/3rd top of my screen would go really light and the mouse pointer would slow if you went up in that area but it keeps coming and going. any ideas?

That sounds like a monitor or video card problem. Can you borrow a monitor from someone to try to isolate the problem. If another monitor works then it could be your video card.

Download this program and run it Uninstall ComboFix .It will remove ComboFix for you
