I just ran OTL again in case you needed it. I'll have to monitor things for a couple of days and see how things perform. For some reason though, I can't download updates for Windows 7. It downloads and starts to install, and then kicks out an odd error message. I have to head back to my place before I can try and replicate it to get you a full explanation. I'll see what I can get on it tonight.

Hi FictiveRepose,

Please test your system for one day but test it for any sign of malware. If you have problem with your Windows 7 then you need tech support on that. I'll point you to them when we finish with malware removal.

Well, everything is working well, and the scans aren't returning any malware, so things seem to be good.
