    Look forward to what you can discern from all this.
    Appreciate the help
    PS Is the Windows Error console an issue? After checking in with the Windows update site (Combofix asked if I wanted to download the error console) I found out that it is actually loaded from the XP installation disc, but it is also for experts so another thing I would need your guidance on.
    No doubt you will let me know.

    Why was Comodo enabled during Combofix scan, and why did you skip Recovery Console installation?

    Open Windows Explorer. Go Tools>Folder Options>View tab, put a checkmark next to Show hidden files, and folders.
    Upload following files to VirusTotal - Free Online Virus and Malware Scan for security check:
    ANIWZCS2.dll
    ANIOApi.dll
    ANIWZCS2.dll
    ANIO64.sys
    odSupp_M.dll
    aIPH.dll
    AQCKGen.dll
    ANICtl.dll
    JJAKEn.dll
    ANIWZCS2.dll
    WlanApp.dll
    ...all located in c:\windows\system32
    Post scan results (omit 0/40 results).

    Hi Broni,
    First of all, I did exit Comodo in the manner advised by the link in your post, but I did notice it enabled in the scan results.
    As I said ComboFix noted the absence of recovery console, I only found out that it is on the installation disc afterwards, I said this in my post.
    I have printed your instructions and will post again, I have just started the system and have to shut down due to multiple instances of W32.Imaut,AS.
    Back soon.

    Hi Broni,
    It was my own computer I had to restart just now, not the one belonging to my friend. So a case of crossed threads. However the errors produced this morning, plus the fact I was not able to access the error console via the path described on Windows Updates site, AND when I tried to access it via the CD I was only able to type one character, either "R" or "E", I had to use reset to get out of the setup screen ...
    I have had enough, this computer has some serious problems and after backing up a few things I am going for a clean install of Windows (I will let Neal know).
    A few months ago I did a reinstall and Jephree advised, setup, drivers if needed, then Windows update. This is what I did this time, and whilst accessing Windows updates I got several warnings about no AV/firewall etc, that this time I am going to install Windows, instal drivers, then install security apps before going to Windows updates. I like Jephree's plan, avoids fragmentation, but after the last week I am not going online "undressed" you might say. I can defrag later.
    Let me know what you think of this plan.
    Cheers and thanks

    Well, if you have your data backed up, fresh install will never hurt.

    Back on the air again, I wonder if it possible to create a batch of Windows, all my apps and then check in with Windows updates. Probably would not even fit on a Blu Ray, and I am seriously OFF TOPIC
    To get back to the compuer in question, I have looked at the list of items you want me to submit to VirusTotal, I gotta say I am a little reluctant. It would mean copying all those files to my thumb drive, loading them on my now clean computer at risk of polluting it and then uploading them.
    Guess I will give it a try.

    Install Panda USB Vaccine: http://research.pandasecurity.com/ar...n-Vaccine.aspx on good computer.
    It'll prevent any files from USB stick to run automatically.

    Hi Broni,
    Downloaded Panda, will report after I have fetched and tested the list of files.
