    Attached is the ComboFix log and the RKill log, ComboFix said it found a rootkit and removed two programs but I'm am still having re-direction's from Google hits though the BSOD's have stopped (0x000008E error code?).

    Ran TDSSKiller, and seem's to have fixed the problem. Thanks.

    That doesn't mean all the issues are resolved. I would still like to see the logs from:
    SAS
    MBAM
    C:\MGLogs.zip

    There is still the likelihood there are left overs. Please download the latest version of MGtools and save it to your root folder ( C:\MGTools.exe).
    Run the exe and attach the resultant C:\MGLogs.zip.

    You should not allow Utorrent to run at start up. It opens your system to everyone!!

    I am happy to say that your logs are clean. ;)

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

    1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no real time protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.We recommend them for doing backup scans when you suspect a malware infection.
    2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
      • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
      • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /uninstall
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.


    3. Go back to step 6 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    6. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    8. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of the READ ME
        for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.

    10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

    Thanks for the tip.

    I hadn't installed combofix to the desktop but entering "combofix /uninstall" in run brings the uninstall up. ;)

    You installed it here: Running from: c:\users\Teclis\Downloads\ComboFix.exe instead of on your desktop. If you haven't moved it to the desktop, where it was supposed to be, then the removal should be:
    "%userprofile%\Teclis\Downloads\ComboFix" /uninstall
