(1) When I tried to run "ComboFix /uninstall", McAfee gave a message saying that it has detected and removed a trojan called "Artemis such and such". It appeared that the ComboFix Uninstall did not run due to this error message. When I tried Start>Run>ComboFix /uninstall again, a message said that this could not be run since ComboFix was removed or it could not be found.
Should I have disabled McAfee before running the uninstall? Where should I go from here to reset my restore points?
(2) Otherwise, the machine seems to be running fine, with the exception of the text under each of the icons (e.g. MS Excel) on the desktop which still have a dark blue background. This appeared concurrent with the virus/trojan. Prior to the torjan/virus, the icon text background was some other color. Is it possible that this setting was changed, but now that the trojan is removed, the setting has not changed back?
(3) How can I have confidence that my personal data is protected now that all of this is done?
