Considering the amount of nasties we uncovered so far, I feel it would be wise if you were to perform another online scan but with a different vendor.

Before doing so, let's clear the nasties that's lurking in System Restore's cache. That way the next scan wouldnt take so long.

Go to Start → Run → type control sysdm.cpl,,4 & press Enter

Tick on the checkbox - Turn off System Restore on all drives
Click Apply

Turn it back 'On' by unticking the same checkbox & click OK

When thta's done, please perform an online scan using Internet Explorer at this website - http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html

We only need for it to scan just the C:\Windows folders.

Once finished, click on the Details button to view the results.
To the upper right of the results you will see an option saying "Click here to export the scan results" Post the log of the scan results in your next reply
