try Hitman Pro and fix all it finds. If that doesn't work, combofix will probably do it for you....follow the online instructions "CAREFULLY" and you should be fine:

There's a new variant of TDL4 floating about, it's got an updated VFS, also it's MBR code is slightly different, so some outdated tools won't work.
Ensure you're choice of disinfection is actually working by booting into a recovery tool (a nix environment is best) and getting a copy of the MBR pre and post disinfection. A quick Checksum will tell you if anything's different.
