Just 2 things to do to clean up a bit.



Great news !

Your log now appears to be clean.


Please do these in the order I suggest!

Delete the S&D fix from your desktop.

Go to start > run and copy and paste this in the field:

ComboFix /u

Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /
Then hit enter.

This will uninstall Combofix, delete its related folders and files, reset your clock settings, hide file extensions, hide the
system/hidden files and resets System Restore again.
