Answer» Re-running ComboFix to remove infections:
PLEASE download Rooter and Save it to your desktop.
I ran the ComboFix. However, Rooter crashes everytime I press "scan". I have run it both regularly, as administrator, and deleted it and re-Dled it. The problem persists no matter what. I even SHUT down Windows Security Essentials to make sure that wasn't CONFLICTING with it. What do you think could be causing the crash? Here's the error info: Problem signature: Problem Event Name:APPCRASH Application Name:Rooter.exe Application Version:0.1.1.1 Application Timestamp:4a429fb9 Fault Module Name:ntdll.dll Fault Module Version:6.0.6001.18538 Fault Module Timestamp:4cb733e1 Exception Code:c0000005 Exception Offset:00060337 OS Version:6.0.6001.2.1.0.768.3 Locale ID:1033 Additional Information 1:fd00 Additional Information 2:ea6f5fe8924aaa756324d57f87834160 Additional Information 3:fd00 Additional Information 4:ea6f5fe8924aaa756324d57f87834160 Read our privacy statement: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=50163&clcid=0x0409Quote What do you think could be causing the crash?If I could answer that, Bill Gates would be my neighbour.lol How's your computer running now?

As for my computer: My virus scanners do not seem to be picking anything up. I'll do this next scan in a moment now, too. I haven't had a BSOD yet, so it may have been some infections that could have been causing issues. I also haven't had my keyboard turn on/off repeatedly, either. I'll post the reply after it is done.The online virus scan found no threats and did not provide a log of results. Mind if I uninstall the non-functioning Rooter?That's cool. We can do some cleanup.
