Still doing fine, thanks again; you mentioned doing some clean up when we were done?

It may be that the topic has dropped off Jeff's notify reminders whilst he was on holiday/moving home.

Hopefully he can get on it soon (nothing critical though since your system is OK).

I will pinch the glory 

Subject to no further problems   

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems 

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean  :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so..The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset  System Restore points:

Remove ComboFix

• Hold down the Windows key + R on your keyboard. This will display the Run dialogue box
  
• In the Run box, type in ComboFix /Uninstall
   (Notice the space between the "x" and "/")
  then click OK
  
  
  
  
• Follow the prompts on the screen
• A message should appear confirming that ComboFix was uninstalled

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button.  It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself. 

We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that

• Click Start.
• Open My Computer.
• Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
• Select the View Tab.
• Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
  
• Click Yes to confirm.
• Click OK.

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Download and install FileHippo update checker and run it monthly it will show you which programmes on your system need updating and give a download link

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated. To keep your operating system up to date visit

• Microsoft Windows Update

Ha, I was just about to post a link to your usual clean-up routine

[buckeyerob39]

  Okay, did all that but OTL softonic tdss and goored are still here...

[essexboy]

Did you do the following:

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button.  It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.

[buckeyerob39]

Yes sir !

[essexboy]

Thanks I will pass that back to OT and see if he knows why.  We will use this tool which self deletes.  Let me know if that kills it 

• Download OTC to your desktop and run it
  
• Click Yes to beginning the Cleanup process and remove these components, including this application.
• You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the Cleanup process. Choose Yes.

    Okay, I went to run OTL again and it was gone, the shortcut was all that was left; same for the others except for TDSKiller. That one is still there but I reckon I can just search for it and delete it that way. I appreciate all the help, you guys rule !

My pleasure - keep safe
