    Looks good. How is the computer running now?

    • Click START then RUN
    • Now type Combofix /u in the runbox
    • Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /u
    • Then hit Enter.
    .
    .
    The above procedure will:
    • Delete: ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
    • Reset the clock settings.
    • Hide file extensions, if required.
    • Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
    • Set a new, clean Restore Point.
    .
    ----------

    Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.
    • Click Start Now
    • Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection.
    • Click Start
    • Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed.
    • Update anything listed.
    .
    ----------

    Go to Microsoft Windows Update and get all critical updates.

    ----------

    I suggest using WOT - Web of Trust. WOT is a free Internet security addon for your browser. It will keep you safe from online scams, identity theft, spyware, spam, viruses and unreliable shopping sites. WOT warns you before you interact with a risky website. It's easy and it's free.

    SpywareBlaster - Secure your Internet Explorer to make it harder for ActiveX programs to run on your computer. Also stop certain cookies from being added to your computer when running Mozilla based browsers like Firefox.
    * Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware
