Try running Malware Anti-Bytes multiple times to clean this out first. combo fix is good (very good sometimes) but in the wrong hands can cause issues.

Avast! Antivirus works very well, especially in tandem with malware anti-bytes.

Install both, have malware scan first, then scan with avast after.

Glad to hear you got it fixed.

As John said , be careful with combo fix.

John turned me on to Dr Web. Most stuff the basic free program handles. The boot disc you make by burning the image from the ISO file has never failed to salve any problem for me. it takes about 12 hours to do its thing but its been 100 percent for me so far.
