BleepingComputer.com: infection cleaned

Had the google redirect. Used combofix, gmer, kaspersky boot cd, tdss and manually replaced volsnap.sys and kaspersky fixed wadv01nt.sys both files in c:\windows\system32\drivers. Combofix crashes a la "a program has closed should we send data to MS?" rmbr.cfxxe must close, but mbr.exe (gwer folks) says the mbr is fine. Anyway, the google redirects have stopped for now. After cleaning for good measure scanned with hitman pro, nod32, avira, anti malware bytes, and they all come up clean. I got help with this cleanup on EE.

I also attached catchme.log which was put on the desktop AS I was cleaning the computer. WTH is with this? I think it may have been a misdirection, it is not clear volsnap.sys was changed although at 1 point hitman pro 3.1 (before I updated to 3.5) wanted me to stick in an XP boot CD which I did not have with me at that precise moment. After upgrading to hitman pro 3.5 it seemed to scan fine, but who know by then one of the other 10 scan I ran could have fixed it.

I am posting a otl, and dds log, just so you guys can check to see if everything seems clean. Thanks, gsgi
