It doesnt mean much. the SFC was replacing a lot of minor things. So not to sure what that means, but it doesnt worry me.

That nasty Win 7 Antivirus virus is almost always comes with a rootkit. In the Windows repair tool of mine I give links to combofix and tdsskiller.

Make sure to run those :wink:

Oh, a ton of new viruses come in through security holes in java and flash. Always make sure to update those.

If you got infected by simply looking at websites then I am willing to bet either your java or flash is out of date :wink:

Yeah, I had the same experience as this guy (http://www.reddit.com/r/self/comments/nyj4q/apparently_the_last_post_about_this_did_not_get/) except I was on imgur. I was able to fix it easily, but the second time it happened, I was on another site, saw my Java icon pop out and knew something was up...

I haven't run ComboFix, although I might give it a whirl now just in case. Yesterday I had a whole catastrophe with my MBR getting corrupted (or something like that; I still don't even understand what and how it happened). I'm just thankful that I'm up and running again.
