Save this as txtfile CFScript

Then drag the CFScript into ComboFix.exe as you see in the screenshot below.



This will start ComboFix again. After reboot, (in case it asks to reboot), post the contents of Combofix.txt in your next reply together with a new HijackThislog.

Hi,

This looks OK again. smile.gif

* Go to start > run and copy and paste next command in the field:

ComboFix /u

Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /
Then hit enter.

This will uninstall Combofix, delete its related folders and files, reset your clock settings, hide file extensions, hide the system/hidden files and resets System Restore again.

Let me know in your next reply how things are now.
Dustybum
Miekiemoes, my friend..... Things are going quite well now. I have yet to see any of the fake pop-ups from the sys tray or in Internet Explorer.

Thanks a million; looks like you saved me from having to do a full system restore.
