This is a pm from the OP.

I needed to uninstall avg free in order to use combofix uninstall.  Combofix eventually uninstalled..

..I needed to reinstall avg and it wouldn't work (so I haven't completed your final instructions) I experienced a situation like we discussed earlier; downloads would stop downloading and not complete.  I started avg and got about 7% before the download stopped.  Like a download stops because it needs to add more to the buffer but there is nothing getting it started again.  So it took about 15 times to restart the avg download before it finally completed.

Restarted (didnot run scan but updated av).

So I continued with final instructions and download TFC.  Wouldnt work.  A TFC pop up instantly occurs and asks yes to download.  It doesn't go to a home page for me to select.  The next instant popup says; "TFC cannot be run from a temp folder.  Plz d/l to your desk top or......."

If TFC won't work, please try diskcleanup. You can find it under All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, diskcleanup.
The other problem with downloads won't complete; I don't feel that this is not a problem caused by malware. It probably has something to do with settings or with your Firewall.

    Ok.  I'll complete the rest of these tasks with that in mind. I will start a new thread in Windows the subject; "Downloads won't complete".

    Once again thanks.
