Attached are the log files from L2mfix and HJT
A few things that may be worth noting when following your excellent instructions:
1) O20 - Winlogon Notify: StillImage - C:\WINDOWS\system32\kvdfc.dll --- was not there when I re-ran HJT
2) When removing SurfSideKick, a dialog box came up requesting that I type in a security code (shown) to confirm user initiated uninstall
3) After booting in safe mode to delete the U2FyYQAA folder, Internet Explorer tried to launch, I shut it down immediately
4) I've been keeping my wireless network connection disabled during the infection, continue doing this?
Here are the logs:
