You're welcome.

You can delete the ComboFix utility and delete this folder, which is where ComboFix stores deleted files as backups:

C:\Qoobox


Also, delete the WinpFind3u folder from your desktop.


Here are some final instructions for you.

Now you should turn system restore off to flush out all previous system restore points, then turn it back on and create a new restore point:

To turn off system restore, on the Desktop, right click on My Computer and click on Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply and then click OK.

Restart your computer, turn System Restore back on and create a restore point.

To create a new restore point, click on Start – All Programs – Accessories – System Tools and then select System Restore.

In the System Restore wizard, select Create a restore point and click the Next button.

Type a name for your new restore point then click on Create.


I also recommend downloading SPYWAREBLASTER for added protection.

Read here for info on how to tighten your security.


Delete Temporary Files:

Go to Start - Run and type in cleanmgr and click OK.
Let it scan your system for files to remove.
Make sure Temporary Files, Temporary Internet Files, and Recycle Bin are the only things checked.
Press OK to remove them.


***

You should trim down your start-ups as there are too many running. You can research them at these sites and if they aren’t required at start-up then you can uncheck them in msconfig via Start - Run - type msconfig click OK and then click on the start-up tab.

I created a new restore point, downloaded and installed spyware blaster and did the cleans you asked.
I still have AVG anti spyware and SDfix installed, should i keep them?
The AVG one was disabled i think when we were fixing.

Also, i have avast, should i continue with it, or change to something else?
I use the avast screensaver and when it scans, it says theres a worm from activescan, im sure its just part of the program but.

Sorry bout all the questions, but i just want to make sure ive done everything right so we dont have to go thru this again

Now im off to research the start up programs..........

You can keep AVG Anti-Spyware and update and run it regularly but remove the SDFix.

Avast is fine but Panda ActiveScan and Avast don't get along so that's why you get those alerts. You should not run Panda but choose another on-line scan to run periodically like Bit Defender, F-Secure or Housecall.
