I did everything in your last post and updated everything you recommended upgrading, with the exception of IE. My wife uses it and IE 9 worked terribly on our computer when we had it a few months ago, so we downgraded.

If there is nothing else to do, I wanted to thank you for all the work you did in getting my computer back up and running. I really apprecaite it. Let me know if there is anything else I should do.

You're welcome!!.. :)

If no problem remains, please perform the last set of instructions:

Firstly,
To remove all of the tools we used and the files and folders they created do the following:
Double click OTL.exe.
  • Click the CleanUp button.
  • Select Yes when the "Begin cleanup Process?" prompt appears.
  • If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
  • The tool will delete itself once it finishes.

Note: If any tool, file or folder (belonging to the program we have used) hasn't been deleted, please delete it manually.

Secondly,
Please set a new Restore Point to prevent infection from any previous Restore Points.
The easiest and safest way to do this is:
  • Open Control Panel (Start --> Control Panel) and double-click the System icon.
  • Click on the System Protection link on the left. If an UAC (User Account Control) prompt appears, click Continue. Close the System window.
  • Make sure that you have System Protection turned on for your System drive (usually C:\):
    • In Windows 7: On under Protection,
    • In Windows Vista: a box on the left will be checked.

  • Click on the Create button. Give the restore point a name, and click Create. Wait till the new system restore point is created, and click Close.
  • Then go to "Disk Cleanup" which can be found by going to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools.
  • Click "OK" to select the partition or drive you desire (usually C:\).
  • Click the "More Options" Tab.
  • Click "Clean Up" in the System Restore section to remove all previous Restore Points except the newly created one. More details and screenshots for Disk Cleanup in Windows Vista can be found here and for Windows 7 here.
