I have never used this tool so I cannot advise what you should do next. Did you tell the tool to remove the infection?

There was a command for the bootkit remover "%userprofile%\Desktop\remover.exe" fix , but it was unable to remove the bug.

And I had just found and ran the MBRCheck right before I posted.

C:\WINDOWS\Temp\100.dat
Im reading thru a bunch of posts, and this file is related and it shows on my PC. Going to keep reading and find concise instructions for MBRcheck.

# Run MBRCheck.exe
# Wait until you see the following line: Enter 'Y' and hit ENTER for more options, or 'N' to exit:
# Please push the 'Y' key and then press Enter
# When program ask you Enter your choice: enter 2 and press the Enter key
# Now the program will ask you "Enter the physical disk number to fix (0-99, -1 to cancel):"
# Enter 0 and press the Enter key.
# The program will show Available MBR codes:, followed by a list of operating systems. Please enter 1 for Windows XP, and then press Enter.
# The program will prompt for confirmation. Type 'YES' and hit Enter.
# Left click on the title bar (where program name and path is written).
# From menu chose Edit -> Select All
# Hit the Enter key on your keyboard to copy selected text.
# Paste that text into Notepad, save it to your desktop as "MBRCheck results.txt"
# Restart your PC.

I followed these instructions and have a clean follow up MBRcheck log. So far I havent seen a return of iexplore.exe in processes and wav volume is staying all the way up.

Going to re-install winamp and cross my fingers, 8-]
