Hi,

Open notepad and then copy and paste the bolded lines below into it. Go to File > save as and name the file fixes.bat, change the Save as type to all files and save it to your desktop.
@ECHO OFF
DIR /s/a %windir%\volsnap_old.sys >LogIt.txt
START LogIt.txt
DEL %0

Double-click on fixes.bat file to execute it. Notepad should open up. Post back its contents, please.

Hi Blade,
I could not do this last night, had a family function.
I am sending from the infected computer as it is not redirecting. It seems a lot better.
Thank you
John

No problem. It's a weekend anyway

Please see if you're able to make ComboFix run (let it update itself if prompted). Post back the report.

Hi Blade,
Please find combo fix log as requested.
I noticed that my entertainment ,system files and communication files on the start up menu are gone. Can I get that back?
The icon for Widows xp restore is still on my machine. Should I send to trash? Things are running much better.
Thank you
John

Hi,

You may try this tool to get missing start menu items back. If it doesn't restore them then only option (if reformat is not included) is to manually add missing items to start menu. Instructions here.

Yes and empty the trash can after that.
