"Malware holds endless possibilities as to what it might do. Some is easy to fix and others take some time, trial and error..."

EXACTLY
and the key issue is settled--by microsoft. It is done!

Kaspersky is running.

oh,and microsoft said combofix took out all infected files. So it took out some validation files for windows and for AVG. I also lost my address book and google earth.
I am not a comuter expert. I either made mistakes with combofix like BaRR said or it took out files like microsoft said.
evilfantasy,I am sure you are a good person, but I do not want you
doing this; "If I thought you were lying I do have ways of finding out if it is legit or not. I didn't do that so I must believe you."
That is a violation . So, thank you for not doing it without me knowing.

Set a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one
Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system will enable your computer to roll-back to a clean working state if needed.

• Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click System Restore
  
• Choose the radio button marked Create a Restore Point on the first screen then click Next Give the Restore Point a name then click Create.
