Hi bmurrie.
Computer is 'sprinting' along now :-) And I'm actually able to post this from the computer itself (instead of a separate laptop), so looking good!
Good news
Just one thing left to deal with then you're good to go.
Delete file/folder
Press
Start > Run, copy/paste the following command into the box and press OK: Do not include the word
quote:
cmd /c del /F C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\307c785
A blank command window will open on your desktop, then close in a minute or two. This is normal.
This is my general post for when your logs show no more signs of malware.
Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:
Time for some housekeeping
- Click on Start >> Run...
- Now type in ComboFix /Uninstall into the box and click OK.
- Note the space between the X and the /Uninstall, it needs to be there.
The above procedure will reset your System Restore and clear out the backups and quarantines created during the course of this fix.

OTC
Download
OTC by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop. This tool will remove all the tools we used to clean your pc.
- Double-click OTC.exe
- Click the CleanUp! button
- Select Yes when the Begin cleanup Process? Prompt appears
- If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes
- The tool will delete itself once it finishes, if not delete it by yourself
Note: If you receive a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding OTC attempting to contact the internet, please allow it to do so.
You can now delete any tools we used if they remain on your Desktop.
Protection Programs
Don't forget to
re-enable any protection programs we disabled during your fix.
Here are some free programs I recommend that could help you improve your computer's security.
Install SpywareBlaster
Download and install Javacools SpywareBlaster from
Here
SpywareBlaster adds a list of ActiveX controls, tracking cookies and sites which will be blocked in either Internet Explorer or Firefox browsers. You need to manually check for updates regularly.
Install SiteAdvisor
SiteAdvisor is a toolbar for Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox which alerts you if you're about to enter a potentially dangerous website.

Install WinPatrol
As a robust security monitor,
WinPatrol will alert you to hijackings, malware attacks and critical changes made to your computer without your permission. WinPatrol takes snapshot of your critical system resources and alerts you to any changes that may occur without your knowledge.

MVPS Hosts
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.
