    The logs look ok. If everythings ok now, uninstall combofix

    Open a Run command box (Windows key + R) and copy paste this command in:

    ComboFix /uninstall

    Note the space between ComboFix and /uninstall , it needs to be there.

    Click OK

    Let me know if that wasn't successful before proceeding to remove OTM and its folder. If it was, continue on with this:
    • Right-click OTM.exe & choose "Run as Administrator" to run it.
    • Click the CleanUp! button
    • Select Yes when the Begin cleanup Process? Prompt appears
    • If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes
    • The tool will delete itself once it finishes, if not delete it by yourself
    Then download and install an antivirus of your choice & run a scan with it.

    Which anti virus would you install?

    Any of the free ones - Avast, Avira, AVG, MSE... It's personal preference really. If your used to how AVG works then maybe you could install that again but it wouldn't be my first choice.

    Since you obviously know an awful lot about computers can I ask what your first choice would be?

    My Dad was wondering what you actually do for a living? BTW I understand if you don't answer Dad's question as he cannot understand how come someone is fixing his computer and they haven't asked for money to do it! :eek:

    I really don't have a preference although I do currently have MSE on my personal machines (Aside from my testbox that has Avast on it at the moment). There all as good/bad as each other. People will always say one is better than another but there's a lot more to securing a PC than the antivirus alone.

    Combofix couldn't clean or replace some files that were infected so unfortunately had to delete them.
    c:\program files\Common Files\Intel\IntelDH\NMS\AdpPlugins\DQLWinService.exe . . . is infected!!
    c:\program files\Common Files\Intel\IntelDH\NMS\AdpPlugins\DQLWinService.exe . . . was deleted!! You should re-install the program it pertains to

    I'd also uninstall these:

    Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (Support for 8x ends very soon) http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/

    Advanced Registry Optimizer
    ALOT Toolbar
    Conduit Engine
    ResultBar 1.0 build 113 (Probably gone already)

    No problem. Give yourself a big pat on the back - You've removed a very nasty rootkit!

    It had Intel Viiv 1.6.361.6 installed and it is now installing 1.7.1.
