Hi,
You can go ahead and delete
fixreg.reg from your desktop now.
Please make sure that the TeaTimer is still disabled as per my previous instructions. Then, scan with HijackThis and place a checkmark against the following entries.
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page =
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {53707962-6F74-2D53-2644-206D7942484F} - (no file)
Close all browsers and windows other than HijackThis and click on 'fix checked'.
=================================
Restart the computer for the changes to take effect.

C:\Program Files\Uniblue\
SpyEraser

===================================
- Click Start then Run
- Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK. Notice the space between the Combofix and the /
This will uninstall ComboFix. It will also implement some cleanup procedures and reset System Restore to prevent reinfection from old restore points.
