I've gone through all your instructions (getting rid of my un-necessary anti-virus logging utilities, ComboFix, etc).

By the way, DDS.scr now runs :)

I've checked...

Well it's a big moment. I'm actually posting this from the "previously" infected computer. YEAH!!! Everything seems fine again. No weird pauses and re-directs of any kind.
