You can uninstall ERUNT from add/remove programs.

Did you delete etavaresCF.exe manually?

OK, if Combofix is visible as etavaresCF on your desktop, rename it to uninstall
If it's visible as etavaresCF.exe on your desktop, then rename it to uninstall.exe instead.

THen, doubleclick the renamed icon to uninstall it.

Did that work?
