Upon rebooting, I was able to run ComboFix. I apologize for not trying this before. It appears to have resolved the issue. Here is the combofix log. Please let me know if there's anything else I should do.

Seems like the services.exe file was replaced...so that's the good news:)
Are your problems with the Windows Updates and Firewall fixed?
Now,can you please perform the following scans:
<>VERY IMPORTANT! PLEASE RUN ONLY ONE SCAN AT THE TIME! DON'T START ALL THE SCAN AT ONCE!</>
STEP 1: Run a HitmanPro scan
<ol>
<li><>Download the latest official version of HitmanPro</>.
<a href="http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> <>HITMANPRO DOWNLOAD LINK</></a> <em>(This link will open a download page in a new window from where you can download HitmanPro)</em></li>
<li>Start HitmanPro  by <>double clicking on the previously downloaded file.</> and then following the prompts.

<li>HitmanPro will now start removing the infected objects, and in some instances, may suggest a reboot in order to completely remove the malware from your system. In this scenario, always confirm the reboot action to be on the safe side.
