    Youve far too mant 'temp' files running too (Which might be why you keep having problems)

    Id suggest running panda scan again then run ccleaner ~
    Download CCLEANER (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION' ~ make sure YAHOO TOOLBAR is unticked on installation)
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
    Run the CLEANER scan
    Then run the REGISTRY scan (Backup the registry when it asks)

    Pandas detected 'false positives' then (ie ~ thinks combofix is a problem when its not)

    Deleted both icons-will re-run panda! Cheers for your help!

    Any idea why AVG still shows up even when deleted/uninstalled??!

    Because AVG embeds itself into the registry.

    I said Panda is showing FALSE POSITIVES (ie ~ pointless running it again)
