Hi Jeff

Before we finish, just some clearing up to do now,

Please do the following:

You can delete the MBRCheck and GMER logs and programs from your desktop.

First

Follow these steps to uninstall Combofix• Click START then RUN

• Please follow the prompts to uninstall Combofix.
• Once it's finished uninstalling itself you will receive a message saying Combofix was uninstalled successfully.
===================================================

Run OTL

Uninstall OTL
  • Double-click OTL.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 OTL attempting to contact the internet, please allow it to do so.

===================================================

Recommended programs
  • Although Spybot Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware were good programs, they are not robust enough to deal with today’s intruders and infections. I suggest you replace it with the following free program:
    You have SpywareBlaster which is more reliable and if you want an additional program you could also download SUPERAntiSpyware.
  • Update and run Malwarebytes. This really is an excellent program that you should update and run on a regular basis, probably weekly.
You can never update too often and your computer will not be protected from new malware if your programs are not up-to-date.

===================================================

I also recommend that you read the following. It will give you valuable advice on how to prevent this from happening again:

Remember, you can never update too often and your computer will not be protected from new malware if Windows and other programs are not up-to-date.
