    Remove combofix from the computer like this:

    Click START then RUN
    Now type or copy Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK.
    Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.



    Clean the System Restore files like this:

    Turn off System Restore.
    On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
    Click Properties.
    Click the System Restore tab.
    Check Turn off System Restore.
    Click Apply, and then click OK.

    Reboot

    Turn ON System Restore,
    On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
    Click Properties.
    Click the System Restore tab.
    UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
    Click Apply, and then click OK.

    Update MBAM and scan to be sure we missed none of the junk, there is no need to post a clean scan result.
    (MBAM is yours to keep if you wish, update it and run it once a month or so)

    Update AntiVir and scan the system, to be sure it is running right and scanning clean.

    If all is well at this point, let me know and I will close the topic.
