Broni,
Thanks for your patience - had a big family event this past weekend to prep for.

--------------------------------------
2. Tool removal
Clean up with OTL:On the OTL main screen, press the CLEANUP button
Done.
Delete leftover tools or logs.
Done.
3. Make sure, Windows Updates are current.
Current. It's on auto-notify - I approve.
4. If any Trojan was listed among your infection(s), make sure, you change all of your on-line important passwords (bank account(s), secured web sites, etc.) immediately!
None.
5. Download, and install WOT (Web OF Trust): http://www.mywot.com/. It'll warn you (in most cases) about dangerous web sites.
This is linked. I'm considering it, but my investigation indicates that the rating system is a bit, well, broken and manipulable.
6. Run Malwarebytes "Quick scan" once in a while to assure safety of your computer.
Will do - should make a weekly check.
7. Run Temporary File Cleaner (TFC) weekly.
OK - but is this security, or just a general cleanup thing?
8. Download and install Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI): https://www.techspot.com/downloads/4898-secunia-personal-software-inspector-psi.html. The Secunia PSI is a FREE security tool designed to detect vulnerable and out-dated programs and plug-ins which expose your PC to attacks. Run it weekly.
OK and ran it.
9. (optional) If you want to keep all your programs up to date, download and install FileHippo Update Checker. The Update Checker will scan your computer for installed software, check the versions and then send this information to FileHippo.com to see if there are any newer releases.
Isn't this basically what Secunia does? (Maybe that's why it's optional.)
10. (Windows XP only) Run defrag at your convenience.
N/A
11. When installing\updating ANY program, make sure you always select "Custom " installation, so you can UN-check any possible "drive-by-install" (foistware), like toolbars etc., which may try to install along with the legitimate program. Do NOT click "Next" button without looking at any given page.
I do this, thanks.
12. Read How did I get infected?, With steps so it does not happen again!: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic2520.html
OK
13. Please, let me know, how your computer is doing.
YUP!
