Good job getting all of this done. Just so you know, the infection that was on your system is the "real deal" but has been neutralized. Now we may need to fix up some of the damage that it has created. By the way…great work getting your passwords changed and having your daughter help you out too is fantastic.

- Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before following the steps below. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
- Referring to the screenshot above, drag CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe.
- ComboFix will now run a scan on your system. It may reboot your system when it finishes. This is normal.
- When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Copy and paste the contents of the log in your next reply.
