You should keep AFT Cleaner and run it weekly.
Make sure your Trend Micro realtime scanner (it should have started with the antivirus).
You should consider adding "Spywareblaster" to your arsenol of antispyware tools, you can download it from this link Spywareblaster
Just 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?

My computer is running great! I cannot thank you enough for the help you have given me. I hope you're getting payed.
