I am sorry but I didn't know what the black dot in my posting icon meant (it wasn't in the legend below), so I presumed it has been "blackmarked" because my user name contains an ampersand and that my site registration had been rejected (which is what happened on BleepingComputer.com).
The current status is that Add/Remove Programs hasn't worked since I tried to uninstall Nero 7 Essentials several weeks ago, which is when the first "blatant" problem appeared. Nero acknowledged that they could be responsible and made some cursory suggestions. I'll never install Nero again (I've moved to Roxio). I would have removed Spybot first if I could have. I had noted two minor incidents in the past month or so: and somewhat strange-looking Java update and more disk activity than there should have been.
I have completely purged (i.e., re-partition and hard format) my secondary system disk drive (Western Digital, 80GB) after disconnecting the primary system drive (Seagate 80GB) from IDE channel 0. I also disconnected the primary data drive (SATA channel 1). This left no way for the malware to access the newly re-built system (which I am running as I write) disk drive.
I am awaiting the arrival (on or about Wednesday, 11/11/2009) of a second SATA disk (channel 2), which will be the secondary data disk, and will allow me to create an Automated System Recovery of the secondary system disk that I can use if the newly-rebuilt secondary system becomes infected as I attempt to recover my personal data from the primary data drive (SATA 1).
Note: SATA 2 will be disconnected before SATA1 is reconnected.
As I though I was on my own, I just went ahead with my own "catastrophe recovery plan" which is why I have two system disks!
I do have two questions I should like answered, briefly if possible, as a favor.
1. Is the Registry key HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxx-yyyyyyyyy-zzzzzzzzz\ a "super user" (the equivalent of the VMS user "System" for example) and part of the XP installation proper, or this key related to malware?
2. With the hidden and system files set to "visible", should an "emptied Recycle bin" (C:\RECYCLER) still contain a second "recycle bin icon" labeled S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxx-yyyyyyyyy-zzzzzzzzz?
Below I'll post all of the diagnostic logs I have to date. You'll forgive me, but the plethora of new postings led me to suspect there's been a large outbreak of this malware, and others needed your help more than I did, and of course, I mistakenly believed my first post had been "marked for delete" and I don't believe I saw any replies, just about a dozen views.
With much gratitude,
John

I did go in and manually fix those two registry entries above, and that worked!

Better I should "come clean" (you'll recall I mistakenly believed I was "on my own"):

<<------------------------------------------------------------------------------->>
So, the staus quo is that "ComboFix" seemed to have run without any hitches,
and I did nothing more as follow up, other than to make copies of data files on the infected primary system disk and place them onto the infected primary data disk, which is not bootable and contains no system files except for the System Volume Information and probably another re-created "RECYCLER" folder in the root directory.
I can quickly disconnect the newly re-built secondary system disk and reconnect the primary system and data disks if this situation can be easily salvaged. Any advice at all would be much appreciated, and my apologies again for violating "The Prime Directive" (of ComboFix.exe).
Thank you again! :-) /jls
