    Everything looks to be running fine. No re-directs and my anti-virus (Avira) doesn't look like it finds anything that is a real threat. (It finds the quarantine or archive for Combofix I think)

    Other than that everything looks safe and wonderful!

    If that is the case, thank you so very very much!

    Hi
    You are welcome.

    Please do this.

    Click Start > Run in the run box copy and paste or type ComboFix /u then hit Enter to uninstall ComboFix and remove the files/folders it created. This action will also reset the System Restore points, removing any infected files there as well.
    Please check and verify that C:\Qoobox and C:\ComboFix folders were removed, as well as the C:\ComboFix.txt file. If they weren't please delete them manually.

    Delete RSIT.exe and this folder C:\rsit

    Empty your recycle bin or run ATF Cleaner.

    Let me know how it went and I'll post some preventive recommendations.

    Thanks
    Geri

    Uninstalled and deleted fine. Windows claims that the Combofix folder claims that a program or person is using it and windows won't let me delete it. Other than that, everything looks good.

    Thank you!
