How can i uninstall Combofix, if i've already manually deleted the Combofix.exe file & the subsequent C-drive folder with it? I know this certain 'USB' A-drive still exists in my computer & my clock speed hasnt reverted back to normal??? When i type in ComboFix /u, it says that it can't read a Combofix file, since i've manually deleted it...

Ahh...I see you jumped ahead of me and already deleted the file. You should still be just fine. The command ComboFix /u removes the file and related folders but performs a few other functions along with it. Your clock may not need to be reset but we may need to hide your system/hidden files and reset System Restore manually.
Does your system clock show the correct time? If not, you can change it by double clicking the clock in the system tray.
To re-hide the system's "hidden files and folder" please do the following:
* Click Start.
* Open My Computer.
* Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
* Select the View Tab.
* Under the Hidden files and folders heading select
"Do not show hidden files and folders"
* Check the "Hide protected operating system files"
(recommended) option and "Hide extensions for known file types"
* Apply it and Click Yes to confirm.
* Click OK.
The restore points you have would only serve to restore the infection(s) we've removed so we need to delete them and create a new restore point. This is also a feature the combofix /u would have performed for you automatically.
To remove all restore points and create a new one:
Click start-->Control Panel-->System-->System Restore...Check the box
Turn off System Restore on all drives then click "Apply" and "OK" to close the System Properties box. Reboot the system. When the system comes back up and the desktop appears stable, return to the System Properties box "System Restore" tab. Remove the check from
Turn off System Restore on all drives". In a blink, the system will have created a new clean restore point for you and named it "System Check Point".
