Hello are you saying you no longer have a malware issue. You were able to run tools etc...
Want to be sure before we end this topic.

Please, some Admin to delete this topic!
...or put it in Order: "How NOT to ask for help!" since I wrote it confusing, not clear what I want, and NOT very clear what the problem is.
First I had to learn a little bit more about HOW TO ASK FOR HELP .

I had virus, but not the virus was guilty for destroying my system. I over-reacted. Dleted reg.files, processes etc. without knowing what they are for...

So at the end- new Win installation.( Very proud to have done it alone, costs free! ) I still had no WLAN, my card was dead but fnaly I found a way to connect with cable, found the right Driver and ....now it works OK

Thanks a lot for offering help, folks . I write back when I have another issues.

salut from Germany

Tips to protect yourself against malware and reduce the potential for re-infection:

• Simple and easy ways to keep your computer safe.
• How did I get infected?, With steps so it does not happen again!.
• Hardening Windows Security - Part 1 & Part 2.
• Configuring Internet Explorer for Practical Security and Privacy - How to Secure Your Web Browser.
• Your Guide To Staying Safe Online.
• Use Task Manager to close pop-up messages to safely exit malware attacks.

• Avoid gaming sites, pirated software, cracking tools, keygens, and peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing programs. They are a security risk which can make your computer susceptible to a smörgåsbord of malware infections, remote attacks, exposure of personal information, and identity theft. Many malicious worms and Trojans spread across P2P file sharing networks, gaming and underground sites. Users visiting such pages may see innocuous-looking banner ads containing code which can trigger pop-up ads and malicious Flash ads that install viruses, Trojans and spyware. Ads are a target for hackers because they offer a stealthy way to distribute malware to a wide range of Internet users. The best way to reduce the risk of infection is to avoid these types of web sites and not use any P2P applications. Read P2P Software User Advisories and Risks of File-Sharing Technology.

• Keeping Autorun enabled on USB and other removable drives has become a significant security risk due to the increasing number of malware variants that can infect them and transfer the infection to your computer. To learn more about this risk, please read:
