No problem, I have relatives visiting soon so I am gearing down for a few weeks anyway. Good job installing RC, here is some information about the tool:

Remove combofix from your 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.



To be sure no System Restore files are infected, do 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.

I suggest you update AVG and run a system scan to make sure it is working properly and locating no malware you can not deal with.

I'll post this information for you now, if you are having no malware issues, there is no need to post again.

Some good information for you:
