You can do whatever you want. :)

Your logs look clean. There is only a bit of cleanup that we will deal with in this post, as well as prevention from future infections. If you have any questions or other problems, please let me know. Other than that, and the steps below, you should be all set. :)

Follow these steps to uninstall Combofix and tools used in the removal of malware
  • 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.

  • Make sure you have an Internet Connection.
  • Download OTCleanIt to your desktop and run it
  • A list of tool components used in the Cleanup of malware will be downloaded.
  • If your Firewall or Real Time protection attempts to block OTCleanUp to reach the Internet, please allow the application to do so.
  • Click Yes to beging the Cleanup process and remove these components, including this application.
  • You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the Cleanup process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.

Please update Adobe Reader, by downloading and installing Adobe Reader 9.

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programs:
  • SpywareBlaster to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place.
  • SpywareGuard gives you realtime protection from spyware.
  • Super Antispyware OR Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to help remove any spyware that may have gotten on your computer.
  • MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites.
  • ERUNT (Emergency Recovery Utility NT) allows you to keep a complete backup of your registry and restore it when needed.
  • Recent trends appear to indicate that future infections will include attacks to the boot sector of the computer. The installation of the Recovery Console in the computer will be our only defense against this threat. For more information and steps to install the Recovery Console see this article. Should you need assistance in installing the Recovery Console, please do not hesitate to ask.

To keep your operating system up to date visit Microsoft Windows Update monthly. Remember to be aware of what emails you open and websites you visit.

Have a safe and happy computing day!
