Hi lukem,

You're welcome.

We'll clean up the tools now.

To re-enable your Emulation drivers, double click DeFogger to run the tool.
  • The application window will appear
  • Click the Re-enable button to re-enable your CD Emulation drivers
  • Click Yes to continue
  • A 'Finished!' message will appear
  • Click OK
  • DeFogger will now ask to reboot the machine - click OK
IMPORTANT! If you receive an error message while running DeFogger, please post the log defogger_enable which will appear on your desktop.

Your Emulation drivers are now re-enabled.

From your desktop, please delete, if present
  • any notepads/logs that we created
  • aswMBR.exe
  • mbr.zip
  • mbr.dat
  • TDSSKiller
You can also delete this file C:\TDSSKiller.2.7.36.0_02.06.2012_14.57.00_log.txt


Next

Click the Start button. Copy and paste the following line into the search box and hit enter


Combofix /uninstall



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.
