I couldn't do copy and paste but I did a print screen with results:

How is the machine running now?

I think is ok (but not like fresh windows)since I used combofix But my concern now is why is keep showing a something here :
c:\system volume information \_restore B87644B4....\A0216911.exe and Norton Internet Security after scan quarantined the same thing but different number :...A0216912.exe and A0216913.exe and A0216913.exe and so on ?

These are copies of malware found in the system restore folder. We will deal with those now as we wrap this up

You're clean. Good stuff!

Let's do some clearing up

If you used DeFogger now is the time to enable your CD emulation software again.

Uninstall ComboFix

Remove Combofix now that we're done with it.

• Please press the Windows Key and R on your keyboard. This will bring up the Run... command.
  (For Vista/Windows 7 please click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Run)
  
• Now type in Combofix /Uninstall in the runbox and click OK. (Notice the space between "Combofix" and "/")
  
• Please follow the prompts to uninstall Combofix.
  
• You will then receive a message saying Combofix was uninstalled successfully once it's done uninstalling itself.

This will uninstall Combofix and anything associated with it.


We Need to Clean Up our Mess
Download and Run OTC

We will now remove the tools we used during this fix using OTC.

• Download OTC by OldTimer and save it to your desktop.
  
• Double click icon to start the program. If you are using Vista, please right-click and choose run as administrator
  
• Then Click the big button.
  
• You will get a prompt saying "Being Cleanup Process". Please select Yes.
  
• Restart your computer when prompted.

If you still have any tools or logs leftover on your computer you can go ahead and delete those off of your computer now.

Here's some advice on how you can keep your PC clean


Use and update your AntiVirus Software

You must have a good antivirus. There are plenty to choose from but I personally recommend the free options of Avast and Avira Antivir - though if you choose Avira you should make sure that you uncheck the box offering to install the Ask toolbar. If you want to purchase a security program then I recommend any of the following: AVG, Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky and ESET Nod32.

It is imperative that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out. If you use a commercial antivirus program you must make sure you keep renewing your subscription. Otherwise, once your subscription runs out, you may not be able to update the programs virus definitions.


Make sure your applications have all of their updates

Use this next program to check for updates for programs already on your system. Download Security Check by screen317 from here or here.

• Save it to your Desktop.
  
• Double click SecurityCheck.exe and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
  
• A Notepad document should open automatically, make sure that updates on any that are flagged are carried out as soon as possible

It is also possible for other programs on your computer to have security vulnerability that can allow malware to infect you. Therefore, it is also a good idea to check for the latest versions of commonly installed applications that are regularly patched to fix vulnerabilities. You can check these by visiting Secunia Software Inspector and Calendar of Updates.


Install an AntiSpyware Program

A highly recommended AntiSpyware program is SuperAntiSpyware. You can download the free Home Version. or the Pro version for a 15 day trial period.

Installing this or another recommended program will provide spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should scan your computer with an AntiSpyware program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software.


Finally, here's a treasure trove of antivirus, antimalware and antispyware resources


That's it marco, happy surfing!

Cheers.

The SAS scan removed remnants from the machine - none of these are malicious.

What exactly did Norton find?

I couldn't send a picture with that , either copy/paste so is a long list with that in NIS :
Frday January 13 , 2012 1:36PM ... 1:36PM ...1:45PM
ACTOR :C\prog files \MALWAREBYTES'ANTI-MALWARE\MBAMSERVICE.EXE
Target c:\Program Files\ Norton Internet Security\Engine\18.6.0.29\ccsvchst.exe
Target pid : 1412
Action :Acces process data
Reaction : Unauthorized access blocked

Okay, just an MBAM executable. That's a false positive.

I think that should be it then. Any questions before we finish up?

thank you , every thinks seems ok
