I have a serious problem on a work laptop. I have some sort of malware.
I believe I got it from downloading pdf files but I'm not sure.

The symptoms are I am getting a lot of disk type errors. Also, my desktop
icons are mostly gone. Also there were a bunch of windows popping up.

My Desktop walpaper is now black rather than the default.

Now, after running ComboFix, everything I try to run says Illegal Operation
attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion!!

HELP!! I have KeePass on this box with a lot of passwords that I really need to recover!!!
