I posted earlier but realized that I left out some information. I deleted that post and am reposting. Last week my computer rebooted by itself. Shortly thereafter I recieved what appeared to be a windows security alert stating that it had blocked sinowal.trojan. This led me to a page to order defender software. I ran
spybot s&d
AVG antivirus(free edition)
defragged.
The security alerts kept popping up. My homepage had also been replaced with a security error. I searched the web and read many accounts of similar problems. Then I
dowloaded superantispyware (would not run)
dl and ran Malewarebytes (removed 25 items)
ran MWB again (found nothing)
ran Windows malicious software (removed several items)
Ran Windows Live Onecare scanner(did clean up and removed a few items)
Ran SDFix (removed a couple items)
closed and opened system restore.
I think I may be cleaned up now. I don't get the alerts anymore and my computer runs much faster.
I do my banking online and need to be sure it's ok before I log in. I need help to see if there are any other issues that need attention? I have the logs saved. Can you help me?
Your site provides a great service to those of us that try to diy.
Thanks

Please download ComboFix to the desktop from one of the following links:
Combofix is a powerful tool so follow the instructions exactly or you could damage your computer.
Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with Combofix and remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
Click on This Link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.In your case to run Combofix do the following:
1. Go offline turn off your AVG antivirus, Spybot and any other antispyware that you may have.
2. Run Combofix and save its log.
3. Restart the computer to get the antivirus running again but leave the antispyware programs off until we get the computer cleaned.
4. Post the Combofix log.
Remember to re-enable the protection again afterwards before connecting to the Internet.
Double-click combofix.exe
Follow the prompts.
(Don't click on the window while the program is running or move the mouse, it will cause your system to hang.)
Please post the log it produces.

Here is my log.
Thanks

I fell asleep waiting for kapersky to run last night. The log is above for your review.
In regard to the response above. I deleted the old post and it doesn't show up in my computing but it is still listed in the forum. I don't know how to remove it. Sorry for the problem.

Clean the java cache. Go to start> control panel> java> general>temporary internet files> settings> delete files> ok >ok.
You computer appears to be clean
Go to start> run> combofix /u (note the space after combofix) then press enter> run. This will uninstall combofix so give the uninstaller a minute to run.Go to start> control panel> add/remove programs and uninstall these programs:
Hijack This
Malwarebytes
Eset
You should keep AFT Cleaner and run it weekly.
You should consider adding "Spywareblaster" to your arsenol of antispyware tools, you can download it from this link SpywareblasterJust download it,install it, and update it. Its free and runs in the background, so you don't actually run it, and re-writes malicious script before it can install on your computer. Look for updates weekly as there is no auto-update on the free version.
How is the computer operating?

Done. Would you reccomend keeping Spybot along with Spywareblaster?
The computer seems to be working good.
Many thanks to you and your associates. You provide a great service for people like me.
