So after the updates and the antivirus we'll be finished?

I think so. I don't see any more problems. Do you?

I haven't so far. The Windows Explorer errors aren't occuring anymore. I'll delete Combofix and AVG and install Avast, WinPatrol and the updates. Then I'll scan with Avast. I'll tell you if Avast catches anything.
Again, thanks! I'll make sure to tell her of your enormous help once I give her the PC.

Lol, the Combofix uninstall command didn't want to work until I realized that I needed to write "Bureau" instead of Desktop.

Okay... I do have an error at Startup, again:
DTProAgent
This program requires at least Windows 2000 with SPTD 1.43 or higher. Kernel debugger must be deactivated.

Hmm, so that's causing the problem. Hmmm, I'm afraid since that one's a paid program I'd need to ask her first before uninstalling it. I don't understand well what it does, though. Something about creating a virtual disk? Does she need it for anything important?

"DAEMON Tools is an advanced application for Microsoft Windows which provides one of the best optical media emulation in the industry. DAEMON Tools enables you to use your CD/DVD images as if they were already burned to CD/DVD."
Appears lots of people have the same problem:

There is a fix but it seems like a lot of work:

...The fix seems to say to uninstall DAEMON Tools as well...
I think I'll just ask her if she wants it or not.
I also think Combofix was the one to cause it because evertime I ran Combofix, it said something about disabling CD/DVD drivers, which I found curious, because the netbook doesn't have cd/dvd readers (but I did watch that on My PC, I just forgot to ask). And every time that the laptop rebooted after Combofix, that error appeared, however, once the log was produced, the error went away.
It was until I uninstalled Combofix that the error didn't go away, because it disabled the drivers when it uninstalled.
Anyway, Avast scan ran unhindered and has finished. No malware detected! x3
She's got Spybot - Search & Destroy installed. Do I do something about it? For that matter, do I leave MBAM installed? (What else do you think I should delete, OTL, TFC?)
Oh, and I already updated Java and Adobe. And made the JavaScript tweaking you told me about. There were no Microsoft Updates available. I updated her browsers and whatnot. I still need to update the drivers, though. It seems she never updated any of her software. I'll defrag after this is all over... and I restore the rest of the start menu shortcuts. I'm not sure what is supposed to go in the ASUS folder...

You can leave Spybot. MBAM won't hurt anything. The rest you might want to move to a folder called antivirus tools or something similar so that when if gets reinfected it will be easier to fix.
For ASUS just look in the c:\program files\ASUS folder and make a shortcut for each .exe you find.
The file Daemon complains about was happily running as far as Combofix was concerned:
S0 sptd;sptd;c:\windows\system32\drivers\sptd.sys [22/09/2009 10:32 685816]
I see the sptd.sys file a lot in Combofix logs and it never seemed to bother it before.

Okay, I'll restore the ASUS and move the other stuff...
Hmmmm... Everytime the drivers were disabled the PC rebooted... maybe, I don't know, the SPTD was installed back again after the reboot?
Everytime the CD/DVD drivers were disabled and the PC rebooted, Combofix died, so I had to manually turn off the PC and reboot. The error would appear at start-up at that second reboot, and Combofix would start over again automatically but actually work.
After all stages were cleared, the PC woudl reboot one final time and Combofix would produce the log. But after that third reboot, the error wouldn't appear.

I discovered that it wasn't Combofix that disabled it.
It was the recovery console, and the error appeared because the registry value of the sptd was set to 4 (instead of 0) to disable it.
The error disappeared once I set it to 0.
Anyway, I restored all the rest of the shortcuts, and no further errors seem to be present.
Once more I thank you for your attention.
