When I type ComboFix /u into the run - an error dialogue pops up stating: Windows cannot find 'combofix'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again
I could not download (as usual) from the links you provided. I do have ComboFix on my computer so I ran it and received this log:

"Matt Montoro" - 2009-01-12 18:22:49 Service Pack 3

Let me know if you think I need to download anything else in regards to ComboFix

BTW - ComboFix never advised me on Windows Recovery Console any time I have used it

That's still an OLD version.
ComboFix 07-05.27
Current version is ComboFix 09-01-08.04

Do it this way.

remove these files and folders if listed from both computers.
C:\ComboFix
C:\QooBox
C:\combofix.txt
C:\combofix-quarantine-files.txt

Now go and download it again to the working pc and copy it to the non-working one.

Copy/paste the text in the Codebox below into notepad:

Here's how to do that:
Click Start > Run type Notepad click OK.
This will open an empty notepad file:

Take your mouse, and place your cursor at the beginning of the text in the box below, then click and hold the left mouse button, while pulling your mouse over the text. This should highlight the text. Now release the left mouse button. Now, with the cursor over the highlighted text, right click the mouse for options, and select 'copy'. Now over the empty Notepad box, right click your mouse again, and select 'paste' and you will have copied and pasted the text.

File::
c:\documents and settings\Matt Montoro\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\winupdate89690703[1].exe
c:\windows\pss\winupdate89690703[1].exeStartup

Registry::
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\mountpoints2\{f3a3c1f2-f9ea-11dc-8d18-00038a000015}]

Save this file to your desktop, Save this as "CFScript"

Here's how to do that:
1.Click File;
2.Click Save As… Change the directory to your desktop;
3.Change the Save as type to "All Files";
4.Type in the file name: CFScript
5.Click Save …

please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

Post #22January 13, 2009, 3:38 PM UTC

downloads are working - everything seems normal

Post #23January 13, 2009, 7:29 PM UTC

Do you have an anti-virus program running?

Good job

Click START then RUN
Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.
- [external image: Posted Image]
Log looks good to me
- Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
  - From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
  - Click once on the Security tab
  - Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
  - Click once on the Custom Level button.
  - Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
  - Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
  - Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
  - Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
  - Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
  - Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
  - When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
  - If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
- Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperative that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week
(Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer.
Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over.
I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients.
Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.
Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly.
This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.
If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site
until there are no more critical updates.
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.
Winpatrol
Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly.
Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Only run one Anti-Virus and Firewall program.

I would also suggest you read this:
So how did I get infected in the first place?

Something wrong with the PayPal link or were you "just kidding"?
