Hi,

Logs looks good


Click Start >> Run, and then type ComboFix /u and hit enter.
You can now delete any other tools I had you download and use, unless you wish to keep them.


You need to disable TeaTimer, so that it doesn't interfere with our fix.

This is a two step process.
First step:

• Right-click the Spybot Icon in the System Tray (looks like a blue/white calendar with a padlock symbol)
• If you have the new version 1.5, click once on Resident Protection, then right-click the Spybot icon again and make sure Resident Protection is now Unchecked. The Spybot icon in the System tray should now be now colorless.
• If you have Version 1.4, Click on Exit Spybot S&D Resident

Second step, For both versions :

• Open Spybot S&D
• Click Mode, choose Advanced Mode
• Go to the bottom of the vertical panel on the left, click Tools
• Then, also in left panel, click Resident shows a red/white shield.
• If your firewall raises a question, say OK
• In the Resident protection status frame, Uncheck the box labeled Resident "Tea-Timer"(Protection of over-all system settings) active
• OK any prompts.
• Use File, Exit to terminate Spybot
• Reboot your machine for the changes to take effect.

Now that your system appears to be clean, theres just a few steps I'd like you to take to prevent any future infections.

• Keeping your Windows up-to-date is crucial to your computer's security. Please go to the Windows Update Site (using Internet Explorer) and download and install all critical updates on a regular basis.
  
  
• You don't appear to be running any third party Firewall software.
  
  Install a firewall! Without a firewall you are very susceptible to being hacked, and people could gain access to your computer. If you don't have a firewall I strongly recommend you download ONE of the following:
  1) Comodo
  2) Agnitum
  3) Sunbelt/Kerio
  
  
• Make sure you update your Anti-Virus software regularly, new viruses are being developed all the time.
  
  
• Some more programs that it would be useful to have [OPTIONAL but RECOMMENDED]:
  
  SpywareBlaster is another real-time scanner that prevents most spyware from even being installed.
  Freely available: Download SpywareBlaster
  
  Download and install the free version of WinPatrol. This program protects your computer in a variety of ways and will work well with your existing security software. Have a look at this tutorial to help you get started with the program.
