That is it,
The last tool cleaned out System Restore and created a new restore point without tracur or Poweliks etc.
Best for a few days to make sure when you first connect to the internet that your AV has the latest updates / definitions even before opening the browser, so that if the problem is a bad website etc. The av could detect it first.
Watch out for what could be in any backup set any where in case the set has tracur or Poweliks inside it.
Good Luck

Looks like there are 2 exploits around for Flash Player (Adobe products) that when flash player runs for webpage videos etc (utube and so on) at the same time it is running downloads Tracur or Zbot.
make sure your Flash Player is updated.
I am still getting my head around the procedure and data.

You may want to check that Java (if installed) is also up to date.
