BleepingComputer.com: ComboFix was not too friendly :(

"Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion"

This is the error I get for opening just about every program....I saw a similar post to this and it said to get a report via OTL which I tried to do, but the same error happened after I downloaded and tried to run OTL.

This happened after using ComboFix to remove a browser HiJacker virus.....any help is much appreciated.
