Nice job.

I'd like to get an online scan done to search for remnants.

Before you do that, let's re-enable Spyware Doctor and SpywareGuard that we disabled from startup earlier via PM:

Click Start>Run and type in msconfig
Click on the Startup tab and 'tick' the entries for
SpywareDoctor
Spywareware Guard

Click Apply, OK and reboot.

-----------------------------------------

Perform an online scan using Internet Explorer with Panda ActiveScan
** click on "Free use ActiveScan" located on the top right hand corner

Click Check Now & a 'pop up' window shall appear. *ensure that your pop up blocker doesn't block it
Enter your e-mail address, country, and state & click Scan Now ...begins downloading 8 MB Panda's ActiveX controls

Begin the scan by selecting My Computer

If it finds any malware, it will offer you a report.

Please ignore any entry it finds and wants you to buy the program for removal as we will address this later.
Click on see report. Then click Save report

Post those results here please.
