    Oho. Now I got a row of problems with system which completely unclear.
     Firstly as I got your last so positive answer about absent infections I tried to uninstall all scanners which were downloaded earlier and did it one by one. Latest program was TDSSkiller with which I did scan with full enabled options and its found two threats else which were deleted by me and TDSSkiller too. So after reboot computer show Found new hardware wizard! Devise Manager showing yellow question sign as Unknown devise! Through internet finding is unsuccessful. How can I restore or replace lost devise?
     Secondly Windows Recovery Console is a strong nut because of 'cmdcons' not being deleted showing massage 'Access is denied. If file in use. Disk full. etc' What is right way to act in this obstacles?
     Thirdly computer used space: 9.50, free space: 8.07, capacity: 17.05 of C:/. May I delete previous Windows updates like Frameworks 2, 3.5? It seems me that huge space of disk could to occupy update between all slightly downloaded

    Please check your Device Manager to see if there are any yellow warning icons. Right-click My Computer, Hardware and click Device Manager. Do you see any yellow warnings?

    This doesn't add up. You said in your first post that your HDD was 40Gb. What Windows are your running; XP, Vista or Windows 7?

          You can go to the same place where you found the information about the free space and click on Disk Cleanup. This will free up more space.

              If you know Combofix upset system folders and I need to uninstall Windows Recovery Console. The way you refered earlier does not work properly ( I had came in system as Administrator in Safe Mode and had been deleting file cmdcons without result getting ban - Access is Denied, now I am being shocked the file cmdcons changed name on Config.Msi and is empty). Please comment it somewhat?
