That is a very important advice slgrieb, and thanks for all that info y'all.
I realized that issue with S&D so after the clean up I disabled it and after that I ran Combofix again. Everything seems Ok. No more amvo.exe notices at start up but still that darn little IE browser with a yellow triangle and the OK button opens up everytime I open a new IE. It won't connect to the Internet until I hit the "Ok" button, then the tiny little browser closes and IE gets connected to the home page. At first I thought IE could have been corrupted so I downloaded and installed IE7 but when I ran it, alas, there was that darn triangle again. It does not hapen with netscape. I'll probably have time to do the second part of your advice slgrieb. Unfortunately, I don't do this for a living and I have to wait for my times off to work on this. I'll keep y'all informed.
There was a report of a similar issue involving Windows Live toolbar. If you use it , disable it using tools/manage add-ons.

I would agree with Niclo Iste as far as doing a clean install. Someties I'd rather hassle with it a little longer than loading up all the drivers and upgrades, although if you look at all my threads, once I gave up and did a clean install of everyting with my girlfriend's machine after everything else failed. As far as MY OWN computer, thanks to God I have never had any kind of issue whatsoever with spyware and the likes. I am just extra carefull with the places I go to and the things I download, I do not even have any antivirus, I used to have the free stuff Yahoo DSL gave for free but not any more. All I use is HJT, S&D, Combofix, SDFix, NNuninstall, and what not, saved in a folder that I treasure like the apple of my eyes. Now back to the problem: The little tiny small IE browser with the yellow triangle and exclamation mark are gone now. I did what NooNoo and slgrieb suggested (in that order), thought the second time I ran Combofix in safe mode it did not restart nor gave me back the icons in the desktop, I brought them back runing task manager again. I rebooted it, did disable the Windows Live tool thingy including the helper. Started IE7 and voilá, no more annoying and obstructing yellow triangle. I guess I will no longer be able to use that Live tool again huh?
You could try an uninstall, reboot and re-install.
Uninstall: http://help.live.com/help.aspx?proje...alltoolbar.htm
Re-install: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
ps: if you disabled System Restore during your malware removal processes be sure to re-enable it.
There will be an update... for the time being, I think you have a fix?
