How is the situation now?

This is true except that your system was infected very very seriously and we can't guarantee 100% cleaning.

It feels normal.

What about the ComboFix alert message? Does it mean a rootkit is still in place or could it be a false positive?

If ever that helps, I can give you the exact URL were I was infected. It was on a "seemingly" harmless website "www.modele-lettre.com".

I think this is a FP, but I've removed so that there is nothing to worry about.

About this URL: Why you're so sure?

Because I made a mistake. I was surfing with chrome when, on a given page of this website, I had a security warning by chrome. It stated there was a problem with the content on the next page. I decided to go anyway for reading purpose only, with no intent to follow a download link. I didn't know about these new threats that can install on the fly just from browsing a webpage.

"Internet Security 2010" actually popped a few seconds later. When I saw it, I turned my computer off as fast as I could but it was too late.

I have learnt the hard way :)

You say there's nothing to worry about : can I consider my computer "reliable" from now on (given I follow proper precautions against malware from now on?)
