Hi,
Excellent!
Please remove/delete all the tools I asked you to download, except AVG Anti Spyware and Ccleaner. Use Add/Remove Programs to remove if listed there otherwise just delete them and empty recycle bin.
You can delete these folders too:
C:\Combofix
C:\QooBox
Since AVG Anti Spyware is a trial version, the realtime guard and automatic update will stop functioning after the trial period. That is why we are not installing the guard so it will not interfere with the cleanup or the malware removal process. You can use AVG-AS as an on-demand scanner (recommended) but you will have to manually update the definition file each time you scan.
Ccleaner is also a useful tool to keep for cleaning your cookies and temp files on a regular basis.
