TDSSKiller came back just fine and what RogueKiller found is nothing to worry about. Out of all the scans we have run nothing is finding the rootkit that aswMBR has found, I am starting to think it may be a false positive.
Let me ask you, how is this system running now, any odd behavior ??
Lets check that file
You need to Enable Windows to Show all Files and Folders, you can find the instructions Here
Go to Jotti's Malware Scan and submit this file for analysis. Just Choose file and then Submit file , when done and the report loads just copy and paste the URL back into this thread for me to see
Seems to be running better. Startup times were similar to the splash screen, "starting windows", black screen, and "welcome"; then the desktop came up at 1:39 cf 1:53 before and got to a stable desktop at 3:05 cf 3:48 before. Not big changes but going in the right direction.Chrome opened in 11 secs without any odd messages about processing requests now.
That Jotti scan shows that that file is fine, its not infected, just a false positive by aswMBR
If files have been altered or replaced by malware, Combofix has sigcheck option that will show on the log and it did not show this.
Looks like where done here, glad things are ok. I will leave this thread open for maybe 3 days, if within that time frame you feel we need to recheck it just post back
This will uninstall Combofix and all of its logs
Click Start > Run and copy/paste the following bolded text into the Run box and click OK:
Please download DelFix and save the file to your Desktop.

Checkmark " Remove Disinfection Tools"

This will remove the specialised tools we used to clean your system. Any leftover logs, files, folders or tools remaining on your Desktop which were not removed can be deleted manually
So How did I get infected in the first place <– Some reading for you to keep yourself safe online
I've run MS Office 2010 programs: PowerPoint, Publisher and Word and all ran nicely; no delays to speak of.
I've run the removal tasks you gave. MalwareBytes Anti-Rootkit exe file is still on the desktop. I ran RevoUninstaller in Hunter mode to uninstall it twice; the first time it reported one leftover registry entry which I deleted, the second time it report no leftover items. There is nothing that looks like MalwareBytes in the Processes tab in Task Manager. I shut down the PC then started again. The exe file is still on the desktop. Do I just delete it?
