Hello goomba,

Here is what to do.

Please delete any left overs of ComboFix, including the folders C:\Qoobox and C:\Combofix.

Step 2

Next, we need to clean your restore points and set a new one:

Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs from changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected)1. Turn off System Restore.On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
2. Restart your computer.

3. Turn ON System Restore.On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
[/list]System Restore will now be active again.

Step 3

Your computers clock may have been altered with Combofix (earlier versions did this but the latest ones shouldn't).

If it has been altered you should be able to fix the clock settings by going to Control Panel > Regional & Language Options > click on Customize and then the Time tab and change it to the appropriate setting there and then click Apply and OK.

Step 4

Combofix may have left protected files unhidden.

Please rehide the protected files:

* Click Start
* Open My Computer.
* Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
* Select the View tab.
* Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
* Check the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
* Check the Hide extensions for known file types option.
* Click Yes to confirm.
* Click OK.

Tell me if you have any difficulty. :)
