    Looks pretty good. You need to watch the file sharing, at least one of those infected files I believe was a shared file. It really is not something we recommend here, you run into the real possibility of getting more than you bargained for, as we have seen here.
    You will need to set a new, clean Restore Point.
    Right Click My Computer. Choose Properties, then System Restore. Put a checkmark in Turn Off System Restore. click ok. You will get a notice that you are turning it off, click ok.
    Wait a minute for it to turn off. Then do the reverse and turn it back on.
    I also recommend the use of SpywareBlaster. A super FREE program which will;
    Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted software.
    Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
    Restrict the actions of potentially unwanted sites in Internet Explorer.

    You will find a link for SpywareBlaster in PROTECT YOURSELF FROM MALWARE: Tools & Tips
    PhilliePhan has some super tips there, download SpywareBlaster and read his recommendations.
    Let us know how things are running.

    Yeah, that's my kids with the file sharing junk. I guess I need to be more strict with it. Once again thank you for your time and effort.

    On the SpywareBlaster be sure to use the Restricted Sites section and you are running SpyBot I believe, be sure to use the Immunize feature. This will help block some of those sites, and there is no getting around them. Keep both programs manually updated. Just check weekly on them.
