Hello Calvinfur,

That's a Kaspersky log i like. Really nice work.
——————————————
Please remove Combofix, you will not need it anymore.
——————————————
Go at Microsoft and upgrade your computer to SP2.
——————————————
Windows SP2 have a firewall on their own.

Please keep these links and do install another firewall after the upgrade.
Print them out or save them somewhere on your computer.

FIREWALL
Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. If you use the Windows Firewall you might think that's sufficient but it only controls one way of the traffic (inbound). Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.

FREE FIREWALLS Tutorial about Firewalls can be found here
You can choose a free firewall from here
——————————————
Please also print and keep this in case you need to update Java.

Updating Java:
  • Download the latest version of Java™ SE Runtime Environment 6u1.
  • Scroll down to where it says "The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications".
  • Click the "Download" button to the right.
  • Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
  • The page will refresh.
  • Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
  • Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
  • Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
  • Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
  • Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
  • Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
  • Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
  • Then from your desktop double-click on the download to install the newest version.

Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

Disable and Enable System Restore. - If you are using Windows ME or XP then you should disable and re-enable system restore to make sure there are no infected files found in a restore point.
