As for removing the programs we've used to clean your machine of malware ......

Let's clear out OTL and the files and folders it created.
  • Double click OTL.exe to launch the programme. This will also remove TDSSKiller, SystemLook, and GMER (except for the random named file on your desktop).
  • Click on the CleanUp! button.
  • OTL will download a list from the Internet, if your firewall or other defensive programmes alerts you, allow it access.
  • You will be prompted to allow the clean up procedure, click Yes
  • When finished exit out of OTL
  • Now delete OTL.exe (if still present).
