Dan,
I did the steps in your last post. Combofix did not run after it was uninstalled. My machine seems to be running great! :cheers:
Does this mean we are finished? If so, I owe you huge thanks! I would appreciate your advice as to what I should do to keep clean.
Thanks again,

Congratulations you are clean! Well done to you :)
Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

This step will deal with those items kaspersky flaged.

Create a new System Restore Point
This is a good time to clear your existing system restore points and establish a new clean restore point:
  • Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
  • Select Create a restore point, and Ok it.
  • Next, go to Start > Run and type in cleanmgr
  • Select the More options tab
  • Choose the option to clean up system restore and OK it.

This will remove all restore points except the new one you just created.

Here are some free programs I recommend that could help you improve your computer's security.

Install MVPS Hosts File from here
The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer.

Update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.
You can use one of these sites to check if any updates are needed for your pc.
