No, you don't, because, as...

What you now need to do is uninstall the "Vista Transformation Pack" (VTP), which is giving you problems because the installer is telling you that it can't run until and unless   scrnrdr.exe   is present.  Were I wishing to inflict malware hidden within something else (in this case, that "something else" would be the VTP), I'd also make it so the VTP couldn't be uninstalled unless the underlying malware which I intended to convey was present; and I'd also leave said malware behind even after the VTP was uninstalled.  Once it becomes clear to you that the author of VTP was trying to harm you, why would you, from that moment forward, trust any other part of what he deposited onto your computer... including his uninstaller?

The reason Nobus told you to use the REVO uninstaller is because REVO does a kind of interesting thing when it uninstalls.  It first tries to run the software's own uninstaller; but even if that fails, REVO then goes and tries to hunt down any files, folders and registry entries left behind after the normal uninstaller runs... even if it fails.  REVO is free and safe and easy to use.  I, personally, use it exclusively to uninstall now (er... well... I also use the free -- and extraordinarily cool -- ZSoft uninstaller, but only when I need to use its snapshot capabilities).

You need to get VTP off your machine.  Use REVO to do it.

But don't stop there.  We know your machine was infected.  I know you think that now it's not, but don't make that assumption.  You used ComboFix, which is not for the faint-of-heart.  Once VTP is off your machine, since you're not afraid to use it, I'd use it again, just for grins.

But then I'd do a manual scan with the free versions of both MALWARE BYTES and SUPERANTISPYWARE.  

And then, begged is the question:  Why didn't your anti-spyware catch this thing?  Or are you not using any?  How 'bout a firewall?

You didn't ask, but I'll tell you the suite that I now use (every bit of it free):

Comodo Internet Security (CIS) as my firewall, anti-virus and host intrusion protection (HIPS).  It's firewall component is best-of-breed.  It's anti-virus component is young and is only now finally getting to the point where it's as good as (or maybe slowly becoming better than) AVG's free anti-virus product.  Its HIPS component is a pain-in-the-rear at first because it pops-up so much... until it's finally trained, that is.  Once you know how to use it, and it has finally learned your machine, you'd be amazed what it catches.  The three of them, together, create an impenetrable fortress that's amazing... especially  considering that the darned thing is free.  Yes, Comodo has its critics in such as the Wilder Security Forums... but if you look close, a lot of that is coming from the makers (and/or their supporters) of commercial products which aren't really much better than Comodo, and who realize that if Comodo ever catches on, they'll lose money hand-over-fist.

Spybot Search & Destroy (SS&D)... not because it's a good anti-spyware product anymore... it really isn't.  But it has a nice hosts file capability, and a good browser innoculation and realtime browser protectiion capability.  Its tea-timer is also a terrific albeit very cryptic HIPS, but Comodo's is better, so I just leave that turned off.  I almost never spyware scan with SS&D anymore because, like I said, there are other free products out there that are superior (which I'm about to mention).  But I sure do use the other parts of SS&D as I've described herein.  I also make sure that SS&D checks for updates every night; and I also have it auto-innoculate in the middle of the night, right after updating, twice a week.

Malware Bytes (MB) -  This thing is amazing.  There's no other way to put it.  It find almost everything, and what it doesn't fine, the one I'm about to name will find (and vice versa).  The freeware version won't do realtime scanning, so I just manually update it and scan with it weekly.  Simple as that.  I also occasionally scan individual suspicious files with it by right-single-clicking on them in Windows Explorer, and then selecting Malware Bytes to scan them.

SuperAntiSpyware (SAS) - This thing is amazing.... same as Malware Bytes.  What one misses, the other finds.  The freeware version won't do realtime scanning, so I just do weekly manual scanning, just like Malware Bytes.  I do, though, let SAS load with Windows and sit in the system tray, not because it can do realtime scanning, but because by so doing, it will auto-update periodically, and also by having it in the system tray it also shows-up on the right-click context menu so I can manually scan individual files with it.  But here's the coolest thing about having it in the system tray:  It will watch for changes to my browser's home page (the changing of which is a common malware tactic).  I used to use Spyware Guard (SG) for that, but it hasn't been updated since 2004... and as long as SAS will do that function, and is in my system tray anyway, I stopped using SG.

Spyware Blaster (SB) - This isn't really an anti-spyware or anti-virus product in the same sense as the others.  It's a browser innoculator... a lot like that particular function ins SS&D... except that compared with SS&D, it's on steroids.  It doesn't do realtime scanning... or any scanning for that matter.  It just innoculates... and better than anything else out there!  The free vrsion won't auto-update, so one has to remember to periodically update and then do a manual innoculation.  I do it maybe twice a month.

And that's pretty much it.  It's a killer combination, I tell you.  *NOTHING* gets through.  Nothing.  And it doesnn't cost me a cent (though, as earlier mentioned, there is a trick to properly using CIS... but once trained and learned, it's the best!).

I used to also use a-Squared-Free (a2Free) as a periodic manual scanner... that is, until I read a couple of articles by guys who did thorough head-to-head testing of all of these products using a fresh installation of Vista fand a CD with 50 known exploits on it for each test. To my surprise (and to the surprise of the testers, too) a2Free ended-up being only one notch above completely useless against about 90% of them.... kinda' like what has happened with the venerable SS&D of late.  So I uninstalled a2Free.  In those same tests, either MB or SAS found nearly all; and together they found 100%.  CIS also found 100%, but, like I said, it's through a combination of its three components... the HIPS part of which takes some both learning and getting used to.

So those are my recommendations... for whatever it's worth.
