I think you've got more work to do, Andrew.
If the machine-in-question is networked to other machines via a LAN, you
could be dealing with a DNS.Changer infection. If so, you'll have to clean
all networked machines and probably need to reset or reinstall the router.
If you don't, the machine-in-question will be reinfected within seconds of
being connected to the network.
NB: If it's not a networked machine, plugging-in an infected USB key could
reinfect the machine within seconds, too.
That being said, I'd say you're in good hands with pskelley. If the machine
is on a network, you might want to mention this to your handler if you've
not done so already.
Best of luck.
