Hello,
I've been infected 3 times in 2 years by the same or very similar virus. It is one that self downloads, the only way to stop it is to shut down cold and not go back online. First I let my Norton 360 scan, which just finds trackign cookies. then I let Malwarebytes run and that finds nothing. Then last I run Spybot Search & Destroy and that found Microsoft.windows.securitycenter virus along with some cookies. Now my computer is acting ok except that when I start up it gives me a window saying that "c:\program files\NOS\bin\getPlus_Helper.dll" can not be located. This worries me, I don't know what it is and if I should have it. In addition Spybot keeps asking to accept or deny registry changes. I deny them all.

Do you think I should try Combofix or am I in the good already?
