====================================================================================================
00. Infections found
====================================================================================================

 1. With ComboFix
    - Trojan.Sirefef.YS in Desktop.ini
    - Rootkit.ZeroAcess inserted into tcp/ip stack (= Message by ComboFix)
                
 2. With RKill
    * ALERT: ZEROACCESS rootkit symptoms found!
    * C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\Desktop.ini [ZA File]
    * ALERT: ZEROACCESS Reparse Point/Junction found!
        * C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB65459$\1241927679 => c:\windows\system32\config [File]
        
 3. After running the antimalwares mentioned below, ComboFix & RKILL are not showing anything now.
    Especially, C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\Desktop.ini has been deleted as to C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB65459$\1241927679
    
 4. Remaining problem :
    - Not sure if everything is clean since some weard cookies are added in my "Cookies" directory
      even if there is no browser opened; this happen especillay when the network cable is plugged
      I have the impression that the Rootkit.ZeroAcess is still inserted into tcp/ip stack even if
      CombixFix is not reporting it anymore

As you have already posted for this on the Bleepingcomputer site I'll go ahead and close this topic. Many of the same helpers work different sites and posting the same to different sites simply wastes the limited resources. Please stick with Bleepingcomputer and they will get you fixed up.
