Disregard previous message. The download has gone thru. Reinstalled bookmarks, been surfing for a while
without any problems. Any suggestions on what I can run in tandem with Kaspersky's.

Well done for persevering.
It would appear that there was nothing too sinister on your computer, just the usual problem that consistently happens with Chrome, (beats me why people use it).
Now that you’re free from malware, as long as your computer seems to be running well, please follow these simple steps to tidy up you computer and decrease the likelihood of getting infected again:
Uninstall AdwCleaner
===================================================
Uninstall Combofix
Follow these steps to uninstall Combofix
Note the space between the X and the /, it needs to be there.
===================================================
Download & run Delfix
Also place a checkmark next to:
o Create registry backup
o Purge system restore
You can delete all other logs and programs we’ve used that are on your desktop. Just click on them and press Delete.
===================================================
Update installed programs
Your versions of Java and Adobe Reader are out-of-date and need to be removed and updated, plus there is an old version of Flash Player which should also be removed. Having the latest updates and removing old versions ensures there are no security vulnerabilities in your system.
To remove them:
Java™ 6 Update 32
Java 7 Update 45
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
NEXT
Install the latest version of Java:
Java
NOTE – when you install Java, before clicking on Install, be sure to Uncheck “Install the Ask Toolbar and make Ask my default search provider”
Even though I just had you get the latest version of Java, there is a vulnerability with regards to Java and web browsers. Therefore, we recommend to disable java in web browsers.
More information can be found here.
===================================================
Recommendations
Any suggestions on what I can run in tandem with Kaspersky's.
You pretty much have what you need but one thing you must remember is not to have two antiviruses on your computer.
Read Why Using Multiple Antivirus Programs is a Dangerous & Bad Idea.
==========================
Update and run Malwarebytes. This really is an excellent program that you should also update and run on a regular basis, probably weekly.
==========================
It’s important to keep programs up to date so that malware doesn't exploit any old security flaws.
FileHippo Update Checker is an extremely helpful program that will tell you which of your programs need to be updated.
==========================
MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer, meaning it will be difficult to infect yourself in the future.
A couple of links with information here and here which can answer any questions you might have about installing/using it.
==========================
Unchecky
Be careful when downloading free software. Many free programs come bundled with adware, many of which cause redirects/popups and verge on being malware. There is a program that automatically “unckecks” the boxes you may not notice when downloading programs.
Download and install Unchecky .
I also recommend that you read the following:
