Is combofix still running ? Is there hard drive activity
I restarted the machine and says “don not run any programs until ComboFix has finished”
Sorry for the panic replies…
No problem, if you have never used the programme before it can get a bit scary
I am not sure if it is doing anything.
Inside the blue dialog box it says : “Preparing Log Report. Do not run any programs until ComboFix has finished”
There is a yellow flashing cursor underneath. Should it be taking this long?
Should take no more than five minutes, but as this is a complex infection it may take a tad longer
If it still appears to hang after that then restart normally and look for the log at C:\combofix.txt
OK…here is what I found:
Only a partial log - but no mind
Is Avast reporting anything now ?

I am running OTL now. SO FAR SO GOOD! MY firewall is back on! It does not look like I am being re-directed to different websites!!
See, scary but fun ;D
haha…not sure about fun!! ;D
Could you now update and run malwarebytes please and post the resultant log
OK, I will do that now.
Just a quick scan will suffice
Thank you so much!! My husband will be SO HAPPY!!
Ah but more to the point are you happy with the computer now ? Any further problems
I believe everything looks great!!
Thank you again!!
If I have any future problems I know where to turn!! 
OK lets clear my rubbish from your computer then
Subject to no further problems 
I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems
Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean 
A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:
Run OTL
[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following
:Commands [resethosts] [purity] [emptytemp] [EMPTYFLASH] [Reboot]
[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
Remove ComboFix
[*]Hold down the Windows key + R on your keyboard. This will display the Run dialogue box
[*]In the Run box, type in ComboFix /Uninstall (Notice the space between the “x” and “/”) then click OK

[]Follow the prompts on the screen
[]A message should appear confirming that ComboFix was uninstalled
Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.
We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that
[*]Click Start.
[*]Open My Computer.
[*]Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
[*]Select the View Tab.
[*]Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
[]Click Yes to confirm.
[]Click OK.
