If the .exe still persists try this live cd to scan your system
Kaspersky live cd http://devbuilds.kaspersky-labs.com/devbuilds/RescueDisk/
@ antony_kibble&
Ran combo fix as said, seems to be issue resolved. But I'll keep issue under observation for a day.

@ edbedb
Posting combofix log...kindly have look...if any nasties

@ optoma
But will that be updated Kaspersky??
log.txt
When you create Kaspersky live cd and boot to it, there is an update option within the live cd.
Run the update and then scan your system.
Im not one to analyze combofix's log fully but it does mention that you dont have the recovery console installed.

Have your machine connected to the internet and rerun combofix and install the recovery console when combofix's prompts you to.

Then attach the revised combofix log.

It looks my issue is resolved, shall i do this??
If combofix has removed the root kit and your problem, just a standard antivirus scan to pick up and stragglers will do the job.
<<<"It looks my issue is resolved, shall i do this??">>>

Most often the issue or the symptoms of the infection is gone but some files and reg entries are left behind that better get cleaned up.

It's up to you... the files may or may no longer exist eventhough still listed in the CF log(that happens sometimes),
but the reg entries are still there. It's all up to you of course whether to remove them or not.
Thanks issue resolved.
When you're done with Combofix please uninstall it. System Restore will be reset, combofix files and backup will be deleted and one restore point will be created.

To uninstall Combofix:
Go to Start > Run and 'copy and paste' next command in the field:

ComboFix /u

Thanks!
