I followed all the instructions on removing the Win 7 Home Security malware last night.

Everytime I try to open Firefox it was asking what program I wanted to use to open it, so I thought it might still be infected. So earlier today I posted to this thread as follows:
Ran FixNCR.reg -> RKill -> TDSS Killer -> Malwarebytes

MBAM removed:
...well I would tell you but can't seem to find where it saved the report?! *smacks head*

Okay just ran MBAM again to find out where it stores the report and it found 2 more threats!
I still don't see yesterday's log so I can only tell you that just now it removed:
hijack.exe
PUM.hijack.exe

LucheLibre pointed me here to ask for further assistance. Any is deeply appreciated.

Also, I know the *incredibly stupid* thing I clicked to get myself into this trouble (a photo on another forum), so if that is helpful I can post a link.

Since posting that I ran another full scan with MBAM and it found nothing.

Win7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64-bit

"the keys have been successfully added to the registry" - seems like it ran?
