Dear Gringo
Thank you for your messages and help.
I installed Recovery console when asked.
I could not disable Sophos for the combofix.
I don't think I can get everything back to what it was, and plan to reinstall windows from a slipstreamed XP SP3 CD I am creating (the forum has a helpful page). Anyway this would give me a fresh start. I have my C: and E: (data) backed up.
1. I can't install a recent Firefox - asks me to "reboot to complete the installation" but this does not make it work.
2. Almost all the folders in Start/Programs are empty. e.g. I cannot restart Ad-aware. Yes I understand I have two anti-virus programs but Ad-aware started out as not an Anti-virus program.
However if you think I can try anything else, I look forward to hearing from you.
Here is the text from the combofix log:
Many thanks
Edward Howard
