    Installed correctly here is some information about RC:

    Recovery Console is a tool that will allow you to recover from a catastrophic system failure, so let's hope you never need it. Many experts believe Microsoft should have installed it by default.

    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 infected 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.

    Run MBAM again to make sure we missed nothing. There is no need to post a clean scan result.

    Update Symantec and run a system scan to make sure the program is working right and scanning clean. If you have issues with the program, contact tech support for instructions.

    Everything looks great, woo-hoo! MUCH better.
    Somewhere in all of this, IE is now running with add-ons disabled. How do I fix this?
