    The other night i made the fatal error of running combofix without really knowing what i was doing. My computer had been infected with spyware which i had struggled to remove for a long time, and i decided that i should sort the problem out and get it over and done with. so i installed combofix and ran it...with anti-virus programs running in the backround. it was really stupid of me, and even before my computer combofix told me to take note of the following files

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\UACaimxowbcurdorfdue.sys
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\UACqpxmppkcundgmubrq.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\UACoybxetltxdotrmvpe.dat
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\UACwmwtnlybgfwbrhpfu.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\UACnrcxllyuylsgmkqtk.db
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\UACylkokairoxtjxwqvv.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\UACqbjkbuyvuxglsnilo.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\UAClsmpktphpujqtsrnd.dll

    it was an incredibly foolish thing to do as i am such a noob and am now completely stuck, i am currently running my pc in safe mode with networking because if i run it in normal mode it will crash after a minute or so.

    if anyone can give me any help with this problem and help me get my pc back to normal then it will be greatly appreciated!!!

    g'day Pumpkin_Howie

    you really need to follow the malware removal guide found here " http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407 " then post the necessary logs in the malware forum so the experts there can assist you.
    as it was suggested in another forum you have posted in a reformat and fresh install might be a bit extreme at this time.to stabilize your system before you follow the guide if you have windows xp or vista i recommend you use the in built error check function to try and fix some of the errors causing the crashes.you can run this tool by clicking on the start button then click on run in the box type cmd and press enter. in the window that appears type chkdsk c:/r you will be prompted that the scan cannot run and you need to schedule at next start up type y and press enter then type exit and reboot you computer the scan will run from there.once complete go to the link i provided for the malware removal and follow the steps there.
    i hope this helps you good luck.
