Infected?

looks good

tool ran as described and appears to have cleaned up the registry entries.

PC now boots up much faster (basically no wait now between "black windows logo" screen and "blue windows starting up" screen.

GMER also starts up cleaner now within seconds, and scan is running at the moment. Will post results when it completes
 
All the major problems seems to be resolved now thanks!

The only two minor things I have left, is the "blank search panel" and fixing windows update (which is currently disabled because of the DCOM errors it is creating). Though I am guessing, neither of these is malware related, and I will just have to keep digging.

Thanks for all your help!
 
Hi,

For that search issue try this:

Go to Start>> Run. Type/copy-paste in:
regsvr32 /i "%systemroot%\srchasst\srchui.dll" [Enter]

Let me know how it goes.

That DCOM issue is probably something you have to ask about on some forum that deals with general troubleshooting.
 
Glad to hear that search issue got resolved.

ComboFix can be uninstalled now:
  • Click START then RUN
  • Now copy-paste Combofix /uninstall in the runbox and click OK

Happy New Year :)
