    Your computer is clean :)

    1. We need to reset system restore to prevent your computer from being accidentally reinfected by using some old restore point(s). We'll create fresh, clean restore point.

    Turn off System Restore:

    - Windows XP:
    1. Click Start.
    2. Right-click the My Computer icon, and then click Properties.
    3. Click the System Restore tab.
    4. Check "Turn off System Restore ".
    5. Click Apply.
    6. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click Yes to do this.
    7. Click OK.
    - Windows Vista and 7:
    1. Click Start.
    2. Right-click the Computer icon, and then click Properties.
    3. Click on System Protection under the Tasks column on the left side
    4. Click on Continue on the "User Account Control" window that pops up
    5. Under the System Protection tab, find Available Disks
    6. Uncheck the box for any drive you wish to disable system restore on (in most cases, drive "C: ")
    7. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click "Turn System Restore Off" on the popup window to do this.
    8. Click OK

    2. Restart computer.

    3. Turn System Restore on.

    4. Make sure, Windows Updates are current.

    [SIZE= "4"]5. If any Trojan was listed among your infection(s), make sure, you change all of your on-line important passwords (bank account(s), secured web sites, etc.) immediately![/SIZE]

    Delete TDSSKiller and OTM.

    Keep Malwarebytes and run occasional scans.
    Keep TFC. Run it weekly.

    How is your computer doing?

    thanks, computer seems to be doing pretty well.
    in terms of protection, i have spyware blaster, shaw secure, and spybot sd.
    would recommend that these are good, or are there other programs i should replace them with?

    also, if i update these programs in my user account, will they also update in the guest user account?

    Personally, I'd uninstall Spybot, which is more a tool of the past and I'd rely more on Malwarebytes.

    No, every account has own programs installed, however, if you scan the computer from your account (admin, I assume), it'll scan all files (guest account included).

    Good luck and stay safe :)
