When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix log. ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.

To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.

If you have not received help after three days, please post a link to your topic HERE.

OK. I will tomorrow morning (the updates are taking forever...) I may end up backing up all of the data and reformatting if these viruses keep coming like this.

No infections were found with TDSSKiller. So far this morning I haven't heard the audio ads at all. I did uninstall a program (SonicStage) last night because I was thinking it could have been running something in the background (plus, it was crapware that came with this computer and nobody ever used it anyway).

So is the machine clean now? We may still format it (it's gotten a lot of viruses since Windows was first setup).
