You're welcome!

You should delete ComboFix; it is a very powerful tool. You can keep Ad-Aware and AVG Anti-Spyware - run regular scans with them.

I forgot to say to clean out the infected restore points:
  • Click Start | Help and Support | Undo changes to your computer with System Restore.
  • Click Create A Restore Point then click Next. Give it a name it and then click Create, then Close.
  • Close the Help and Support Center box.
  • Click Start | Run and type Cleanmgr
  • Select (C: ) then click OK.
  • Click the More Options tab.
  • Click Clean Up in the System Restore Section.
This will remove all previous restore points except the newly created one.

Do you have any others questions? Or can we mark this resolved?
