ComboFix deleted my audio devices

I recently discovered a rootkit on my computer that was redirecting Google searches. A thread on a well known forum said ComboFix would fix the problem, and it did. When I rebooted my computer after the fix, I noticed that I had no sound whatsoever, even though my speakers and sound card were intact and in place. Under audio devices in control panel, my ATI HD and SigmaTel HD audio drivers were gone, even though they were listed in Device Manager. I ran system restore and nothing happened, and when I tried to re-install the hardware, nothing happened. I ran ComboFix yesterday. Can anyone help?

And sorry for the ridiculously long post!

 

Welcome to Majorgeeks Gouskin!

Can you find the Combofix log and attach it to your next post please?

 

Yeah, I actually just wiped my hard drive and started over. It would have been easier. I probably should have done that before setting up a thread about it, sorry :\ You can close the thread, I guess...

 

Probably the quickest and best thing to do

Thanks for keeping us updated.

 

No problem
