I ran MalwareBytes in Safemode. It didn't find anything. I used my laptop to download ComboFix to the desktop of the laptop and then burned it to a CD. I put the CD into my infected computer, but had to do it in stages, because with ComboFix, you're supposed to close most of your antivirus, and malware programs (SuperAntiSpyware is okay to keep running). It took a few restarts to close all the programs I needed to, because the virus would show up again and lock things up; so I did a restart, closed another program, etc. Anyway, I got them closed and ran ComboFix off the CD and everything is now fine. Once ComboFix starts running, it just keeps going, even though the virus tries to start up again.

I called the FBI in San Francisco and passed on the info on ComboFix. They were glad to have the information.
