Here are the steps I took.

1.Spybot picked up a few attempted registery changes, that my wife allowed (gaaaah!!)

2.Ran hijackthis as scannow.exe and fixed obvious errors.

3.Attempted to use Vundofix to remove 2 files that are associated with Vundo that were not picked up by the Vundofix scan. (C:\Windows\System32\vturq.dll & C:\Windows\system32\iiffffc.dll) I found these by the allowed registery changes in spybot. VundoFix could not remove these. When it tried I got a lsass.exe error.

4.Installed GiPo@utilities to remove the files at reboot and it could not remove them. (or if it
did they came back)

5.Found the unknown file in my winsoc (C:\Windows\System32\nwprovau.dll) that hijackthis found
and moved it and renamed it. When I rebooted it came back.

6.Looked at spybot in my BHO list and found the vturq.dll running as a BHO. Deleted it but it
just comes right back. Spybot has it listed in my white list and I am not sure how to remove it
I went to settings in the teatimer tray and went to allowed registery changes. I deleted the
one that I thought was it but it just came back.

7.Decided to do all the steps and ask for help.

8.Turned off SystemRestore and rebooted in safemode (minmal)

So I Think I Might Be Clean. I ran HijackThis (renamed it as scannow.exe) and viewed the log on Hijackthis.de I seem to appear to be clean. Can anyone verify this?

I am worried that the log shows no O20 entries as I know I have BHOs installed

Also can I delete the QooBox folder generated by ComboFix as well as the C:\Combofix folder that was created when I ran the program?

I was reading on the VundoFix site about how they encountered vundo that had hooked itself onto lsass.exe rather than winlog.exe
I believe that is the same problem I got. When I entered vturq.dll into VundoFix and tried to remove it I got a lsass.exe error.

Ok I'm an idiot. I never said what the problem was to begin with.

I started having pop-ups and saw Outerinfo installed in my program list
