Could you re-run combofix please as the last portion was corrupted

For the Outlook problem

Go Start-Run and type in :
Outlook.exe /resetnavpane    (Notice the space between exe and /)

What error do you get for Network shield and Mail shield

Combo-fix comes up with a window that says "No windows recover console found. Without this it will not be possible to fix more serious errors" Would you like Combo-fix to download and install this? This will require internet access.

Unfortunately that machine still doesnt have internet access. Ipconfig wont even work.

using the /resetnavpane line starts outlook but results in a pop up window saying exactly the same thing.

Can I get windows recovery console from this computer and put it on a memory stick?

Oh and the error when I hit the 'fix this' button on avast is a pop up that says "The following components can not be started. Network Shield"

Download the tools needed to a flash drive or other removable media, and transfer them to the infected computer. 
 
***************************************************
 
Download ComboFix from one of these locations:
 
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
 
**Note:  It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop** 
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have the Windows Recovery Console pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal.
 
The Windows Recovery Console will allow you to boot up into a special recovery (repair) mode. This allows us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware. It is a simple procedure that will only take a few moments of your time.
 
 
Go to Microsoft's website => http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310994
 
Scroll down to Step 1, and select the download that's appropriate for your Operating System. Download the file & save it as it's originally named.
 
Note: If you have SP3, use the SP2 package.
 
 
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Transfer all files you just downloaded, to the desktop of the infected computer.
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools
 

 
 
  • Drag the setup package onto ComboFix.exe and drop it.
  • Follow the prompts to start ComboFix and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Recovery Console.

 
 
 
  • At the next prompt, click 'Yes' to run the full ComboFix scan.
  • When the tool is finished, it will produce a report for you.
Please post the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.

After combofix starts - it says it needs recovery console and asks if it can install. I say yes and it says 'Boot Partition cannot be enumerated correctly'

OK lets use a different programme to check the MBR, how is the computer at the moment ?

 

  • Download RogueKiller  and save it on your desktop
  • Quit all programs
  • Start RogueKiller.exe.
  • Wait until Prescan has finished ... 
  •     Click on Scan
   
 
  • Wait for the end of the scan. 
  • The report has been created on the desktop. 
  • Click on the Delete button.
     
  • The report has been created on the desktop.
  • Next click on the ShortcutsFix   

  • The report has been created on the desktop.
Please post:    All RKreport.txt text files located on your desktop.

OK. I've done that.

I actually tried the dns and host fix too. But it didn't seem to make any difference.

I have attached the logs.
