Thanks for returning your infomation and the feedback.
I have placed the computer back on the internet and it seems to be operating fine.
I would restrict internet activity to what is absolutely necessary for a bit longer.
Will these fixes also resolve my Windows Update issues?
If the malware we removed was the cause, it will, let me know if the issues are continue, exactly what they are and about any error message you receive. Do you have this information:

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/troubleshoot/
http://support.microsoft.com/oas/def...3&gprid=522131
Also, should I reenable TeaTimer now?
Leave it off a bit longer, we still have a few changes to make and it will drive you crazy as it tries to do it's job.

This is the next bridge we must cross:

I am sure you saw this:
WARNING -THIS MACHINE DOES NOT HAVE THE RECOVERY CONSOLE INSTALLED !!
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/comb...o-use-combofix
Review that information to understand Recovery Console. Installation is optional but if you do not have the CD's needed, as is explained, it can be installed before we remove combofix.
If you do not have access to Recovery Console via a Windows CD, I strongly advise you to install this tool.
If you do not wish to install RC, let me know so I can continue with the cleanup.
If you install RC, post the C:\*CF-RC.txt*.



Since we do not need to scan with combofix, click NO





Thanks...Phil
