Click Start--> Run--> Type in combofix /u and click OK to uninstall ComboFix. Now we need to reset System Restore and Clear out all the old infected restore points.
Secunia has a good check for such things http://secunia.com/software_inspector/ Some ideas for you.  Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure: Windows, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office Updates Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site frequently. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates. If you are running Microsoft Office, or any application of it, go to the Microsoft's Office Update site and make sure you have at least all the critical updates installed. If you have trouble with Windows Update, you still can get all the Critical Updates, Security Fixes and Service Packs. Below are a few links to bookmark. Microsoft Security Bulletins http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx Office downloads http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdate/default.aspx Download Center http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspx Microsoft Security Advisories http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...ry/default.mspx Recently Published http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...nt/default.mspx Programs that may help you in keeping the PC clean ERUNT(The Emergency Recovery Utility for NT) can be found Here or Here
Computer Safety On line - Anti-Virus http://forum.malwareremoval.com/viewtopic.php?p=53#53 Update your Anti Virus Software It is imperative that you update your Anti virus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your anti virus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out. Use a Firewall I can not stress enough how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. For an article on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below. Computer Safety On line - Software Firewalls http://forum.malwareremoval.com/viewtopic.php?p=56#56 A tutorial on Understanding and Using Firewalls can be found here Additional Information For more information about Spyware, the tools available, and other informative material, including information on how you may have been infected in the first place, please check out this link. A very nice collection of tutorials is available at Bleeping Computer http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/ Finally, after following up on all these recommendations, run Jason Levine's Browser Security Tests ? They will provide you with an insight on how vulnerable you might still be to a number of common exploits. http://www.jasons-toolbox.com/BrowserSecurity/ Other Security checks and more sites relating to computer security are listed below, take the time to visit these when you have time.
