Kritius!

I know you're probably busy with other people, but I just wanted to make sure that you read my Combofix log and made sure that everything was fine. Blind Dragon said that he'd let you finish up with me.

Once again, thank you so much for everything.

Looks fine, just need to clean up

Uninstall Combofix
* Click START then RUN
* Now type Combofix /u in the runbox
* Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /u
* Then hit Enter.
* The above procedure will:
* Delete the following:
* ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
* Reset the clock settings.
* Hide file extensions, if required.
* Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
* Set a new, clean Restore Point.

Cleanup using OTMoveit2 by OldTimer
Now we can clear out the rest of the programs we've been using to clean up your computer, they are not suitable for general malware removal and could cause damage if launched accidentally.

Download OTMoveIt2 by OldTimer OTMoveIt2.exe and place it on your desktop.

1. Double click OTMoveIt2.exe to launch it.
If using Vista Right-Click OTMoveIt and choose Run As Administrator
2. Click on the CleanUp! button.
3. OTMoveIt2 will download a list from the Internet, if your firewall or other defensive programs alerts you, allow it access.
4. Click YES at the next prompt (list downloaded, Do you want to begin cleanup process?)

* When finished exit out of OTMoveIt2

I recommend you keep
1 anti virus program
1 firewall
Combo of Anti-Spyware (Spybot S&D and MBAM, or your choice)

For Spybot you can download the latest version from HERE.

keep them updated.

You can also turn on tea timer in Spybot:

• Click on Mode at the top and make sure that Advanced is checked
• Expand the Tools tab in the left pane
• Single click on the Resident Icon also in the left pane
• check Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active
• Close spybot

Also under Tools you can double-click System Startup in the right pane and disable programs from running at startup. This will free up system resources. For example if you don't use MSN Messenger everytime you run your computer you can disable it, then when you want to use it you can launch it through Start -> all programs, or make a shortcut on the desktop for it. That way it doesn't use resources when you aren't using it. Don't disable any entries in green though.

And just to be sure
Set correct settings for files

• Click Start > My Computer > Tools menu (at top of page) > Folder Options > View tab.
• Under "Hidden files and folders" if necessary select Do not show hidden files and folders.
• If unchecked please check Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)
• If necessary check "Display content of system folders"
• If necessary Uncheck Hide file extensions for known file types.
• Click OK

clear system restore points

• 
  This is a good time to clear your existing system restore points and establish a new clean restore point:
  • Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
  • Select Create a restore point, and Ok it.
  • Next, go to Start > Run and type in cleanmgr
  • Select the More options tab
  • Choose the option to clean up system restore and OK it.
  This will remove all restore points except the new one you just created.

Okay... You're gonna think this is friggin ridiculous, but when I started my computer today, all of this crap that we had already deleted is back again. Yeah. Everything. wmsdkns.exe, 2020search.dll, etc. Wallpaper's back, and the triangle. It won't let me delete any of it (it comes right back even if I try), and wmsdkns.exe says it's write-protected and being used by another program. I know that's a load of crap... So, what are my options? I really don't want to go through this whole process again, seeing as I have school this week, but I also realize that I don't have much choice...

Oh, and it won't let me go back to my restore point, either...

Blind Dragon please hold off from replying for the moment (unless you're about to)

onewinged_angel can you please go to www.hitmanpro.com
Download the tool
Turn off your firewall, and even disable system restore
Also turn off any other resident protection program
And... turn off screen saver from comming on

Then at last run the tool
During the process you will need to accept all
The Internet must be left on (who cares anyway, ie machine is stuffed at the moment lol)

Allow it to automatically do its full scanning; downloading all that.

Once finished (about 3 Hrs later)
Please let me know if it worked (actually make sure too)

I have heard this happening a few times recently because of Spybot backups
