    The detection by SUPERAntiSpyware was a false detection of the MBR.exe file from GMER which ComboFix makes use of to look MBR type infections. You are not having malware problems based on your logs which are all clean. I suggest that you post what programs you are having problems with and crash/error info in the Software Forum.

    You need to put ComboFix.exe on your Desktop as requested so that you can properly follow the below final cleanup since you are not having malware problems.

    1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
    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 oof 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. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

    Ok, here is what is happening. When I startup things are fine, but about 10-12 minutes into my computer session, Win Patrol starts going crazy and says all these different programs are added to the start menu. I check yes for the ones I know, but then these boxes pop up with an ok button but the text is missing and there are the triangle exclamation point icon. Then all my programs start freezing and going blank. I cannot even get through running SAS because it freezes and then shuts down the computer. Any thoughts?

    Thanks,
    Jen

    Just to be on the safe side, I will have you run one additional scan to look for TDSS infections.


    Download TDSSKiller from Kaspersky to your directly onto your Desktop
    • Now double click the TDSSkiller.exe file to run it ( if using Vista or Windows 7 do not double click on it but rather, right click and select Run As Administrartor. )
    • Allow the application to run if prompted by Windows or any security programs you have installed
    • It will start the scan and run rather quickly and will notify you of whether anything is found or not.
    • Follow the instructions to delete/quarantine if asks you what to do when if finds something.
    • Whether an infection is found or not, a log file should be created on your C: drive ( or whatever drive you boot from) in the root folder named something like TDSSKiller.2.1.1_27.12.2009_14.17.04_log.txt which is based on the program version # and date and time run. Please attach this log to your next reply. (See: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post )
    If TDSSkiller also comes up clean then as stated, I don't think you are having malware problems. I would then suggest that you uninstall Win Patrol since you seem to be having problems using it. Then post in the Software Forum for any further support you require using any software programs including Win Patrol.

    And one additional note/comment I will make, besides uninstalling Win Patrol to see what happens, I would also suggest uninstalling AVG to see what happens. You can also reinstall one you are sure it is not the source of your problems.
