    Safe mode is fine, but...
    Delete your Combofix file, download fresh one on another working computer, transfer it to bad computer using USB flash drive and run it again.

    Delete your FixTDSS file.

    Download the FixTDSS.exe

    Save the file to your Windows desktop.
    Close all running programs.
    If you are running Windows XP, turn off System Restore. How to turn off or turn on Windows XP System Restore
    Double-click the FixTDSS.exe file to start the removal tool.
    Click Start to begin the process, and then allow the tool to run.
    OK any security prompts.
    Restart the computer when prompted by the tool.
    After the computer has started, the tool will inform you of the state of infection (make sure to let me know what it said)
    If you are running Windows XP, re-enable System Restore.
