They can be fixed by editing the registry, but how do you know if you got them all? Time for a clean reinstall.

Not necessary to go through all of that. Try the Combofix utility linked in post 2.

Is having the recovery counsel installed really a MUST when running CF? I see a lot of malware experts let people run it without recovery counsel installed and it doesn't seem to mess anything up.

Also have you heard of SD Fix? That's another good app, I think. Do you like that one as well?

For anti-malware, I use AntiMalwareBytes; a new version just came out today, as a matter of fact.
