best go get the coffe on, full scan with MBAM could easily take well over an hour. Did you remember to UPDATE the definitions before starting the scan ?? If not, stop it and update before scanning again

take phone off answerphone, sis

Do not try combofix.exe or mess around with it as it can trash your machine if you are not carefull.(mikey.caretaker). I think you might have a virus variant called "virut".

yup, 3288 is up-to-date.

right, if you're nervous of running combofix, firstly can you run HiJack This - download from here:-
