After reading this thread I downloaded Malwarebytes, Superantispyware, Combofix & Avira. I haven't yet installed Combofix, but Avira keeps popping up an alert saying that my copy of Combofix.exe is a Trojan. I believe I dl'd it from bleepingcomputer.com. Is this a known issue or did I trust the wrong google result?

So my kid picked up Vundo and some other poo poo by (playing java games I'm assuming.) I've run malwarebytes to clean it up and that seems to have worked, though the google results hijack is still working. I've been meaning to install Windows 7 on it anyways, so I'm going to flatten/reinstall.

The only data to back up are photos and movies he's taken. I don't pay close enough attention, should I be concerned about an infection in those files?
