Your logs look clean. There is only a bit of cleanup that we will deal with in this post, as well as prevention from future infections. If you have any questions or other problems, please let me know. Other than that, and the steps below, you should be all set.
Follow these steps to uninstall Combofix and tools used in the removal of malware
- Click START then RUN

- If your Firewall or Real Time protection attempts to block OTC to reach the Internet, please allow the application to do so.

Please download JavaRa to your desktop and unzip it to its own folder

- Accept any prompts.

- Select Update Using Sun Java's Website then click Search and click on the Open Webpage button. Download and install the latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version for your computer.
Please update Adobe Reader, by downloading and installing Adobe Reader 9.2.
Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programs:
- SpywareBlaster to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place.
- SpywareGuard gives you realtime protection from spyware.
- Super Antispyware OR Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to help remove any spyware that may have gotten on your computer.
- MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites.
- ERUNT (Emergency Recovery Utility NT) allows you to keep a complete backup of your registry and restore it when needed.
- Recent trends appear to indicate that future infections will include attacks to the boot sector of the computer. The installation of the Recovery Console in the computer will be our only defense against this threat. For more information and steps to install the Recovery Console see this article. Should you need assistance in installing the Recovery Console, please do not hesitate to ask.
To keep your operating system up to date visit Microsoft Windows Update monthly. Remember to be aware of what emails you open and websites you visit.
