 :)  Hi :

 Your Questions are more appropiate for the SUPERAntiSpyware Support
 Forums located at http://forums.superantispyware.com .

 As to "Vundo", I recommend you use "VundoFix", available from
 http://vundofix.atribune.org/ ; make sure you follow the
 "Normal Usage for Removal:" Instructions .

 "Adware/tracking cookies" are a minor annoyance, not a serious threat,
  though it is best to remove them as soon as possible .
Lisandro:
Can you say what is the infected file name, where was it found (C:\windows\system32\infected-file-name.xxx)?

I suggest:

1. Disable System Restore and reenable it after step 3.
2. Clean your temporary files.
3. Schedule a boot time scanning with avast with archive scanning turned on.
4. Use SUPERantispyware and/or Spyware Terminator to scan for spywares and trojans. If any infection is detected, better and safer is send the file to Quarantine than to simple delete than.
5. Test your machine with anti-rootkit applications. I suggest avast! antirootkit or Trend Micro RootkitBuster.
6. Make a HijackThis log to post here or, better, submit the RunScanner log to to on-line analysis.
7. Immunize your system with SpywareBlaster or Windows Advanced Care.
8. Check if you have insecure applications with Secunia Software Inspector.
