I don't need any points - but I concur with the McAfee tool set that Anthony1982 recommends.

You can really get wrapped up in a lot of extra steps listed by some of these 'other' sites - or you can let the McAfee tool do all the work for you.

Hello again.

Maybe an easier solution can be found, just keep in mind you have to apply all the Microsoft patches or you will be infected again.

I recommended kaspersky solution because is the antivirus solution used in my company. In fact I had to fight this same infection some months ago in a LAN with 200 PCs. I used the Kaspersky tool combined with GPO, AFTER applying the patches.

Even though you have cleaned the machine I would also run Malwarebytes and Combofix

turn off all anti virus and firewall before you run combofix
