Only two things did not happen:
1) that fix.reg thing. I know you said it's not important, but of course I tried again a few times anyway (there's that bravery thing again! lol). Same results. Not gonna happen
2) App remover did not find any traces of anything to uninstall. I also clicked the bottom part which said something like "don't see anything? try this". Yeah well I "tried that" and I got nothin'. Hopefully that's a good sign?
So can I officially erase all of those strange notepad files I made? Is there anything new that I have done or added during this removal process that I should definitely NOT delete?
Anyway....I have had ZERO Avast warnings since earlier today when I ran that combofix. WHOOO HOOOO! Virus free....right?!
Thanks soooooo much! You guys are amazing. I'm on my way out the door now to get "avast! Forum" tattooed on my face.
