Here is the latest log you requested. :) When I tried to get onto Chrome or any other program, it wouldn't let me because the registry key was marked for deletion.

Hello blahvirus109

What would have been the cause of that?


Did ComboFix not reboot you computer after the scan? Sometimes you will need a reboot after some of the changes ComboFix makes to your machine. Usually, ComboFix takes care of a needed reboot, sometimes not. If ComboFix did reboot your machine and you had to reboot it again, you should let us know.
It did the scan, did a reboot, did the scan again, found the files and it produced the log. I than tried to run a program and got that registry key has been marked for deletion error. I had to do a reboot in order for my programs to work again.
Hello blahvirus109 That sounds OK. As long as ComboFix made a change that caused you to have to reboot, and not malware :) So, did the FF reinstall eliminate the BSOD?
Hello blahvirus109

Your machine appears to be ALL CLEAN. :thumbup:

Now we can cleanup our tools:
  • Please remove the logs we created
  • TDSSKiller
  • aswmbr.exe
  • DDS.scr

Follow these steps to uninstall Combofix

  • Make sure your security programs are totally disabled.
  • Click START then RUN
  • Now copy/paste Combofix /uninstall into the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the ..X and the /U, it needs to be there.

The above procedure will:
  • Implement some cleanup procedures.
  • Reset System Restore.

Next, Please re-enable any security that was disabled.


Next,

Open OTL then click the Clean Up button. You may get prompted by your firewall that OTL wants to contact the internet - allow this. A cleanup.txt will be downloaded, a message dialog will ask you if you want to proceed with the cleanup process, click Yes. This will do some clean up tasks and delete some of the tools you have downloaded plus itself.

I suggest you keep MBAM. Keep it updated and use it regularly.
ESET online scan can be removed via add/remove programs.


Next, we have a few recommendations to help you stay malware-free:

Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:

  • From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
  • Click once on the Security tab
  • Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
  • Click once on the Custom Level button.
  • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
  • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
  • Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
  • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
  • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
  • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
  • When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
  • If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
  • Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
Please download JavaRa and unzip it to its own folder
  • Run JavaRa.exe (double-click for XP/right-click and Run as Administrator for Vista or Windows 7), pick the language of your choice and click "Select".
  • Then click "Remove Older Versions".
  • Accept any prompts.
  • Open JavaRa.exe (double-click for XP/right-click and Run as Administrator for Vista or Windows 7) again and select "Search For Updates".
  • Select "Update Using Sun Java's Website".
  • Then click "Search" and click on the "Open Webpage" button.
  • Download and install the latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version for your computer.
Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperative that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week
(Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.


Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer.
Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over.
I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients.
Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.


WOT , Web of Trust, As 'Googling' is such an integral part of internet life, this free browser add on warns you about risky websites that try to scam visitors, deliver malware or send spam. It is especially helpful when browsing or searching in unfamiliar territory. WOT's color-coded icons show you ratings for 21 million websites, helping you avoid the dangerous sites:
Green to go
Yellow for caution
Red to stop
WOT has an addon available for both Firefox and IE.

Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly.
This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.
If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site
until there are no more critical updates.

Only run one Anti-Virus and Firewall program.
