What does "Restored copy from - Kitty had a snack" mean?

Also, does this mean my computer is clean?

I can't tell you I'm afraid. Combofix's author wants to keep this under wraps. What Combofix does with the file and how it replaces it/disinfects it/whatever is a secret to stop the bad guys working round it. Combofix's nickname is Kitty so "Kitty had a snack" means Combofix "ate" the rootkit.
 
Something I've continued to notice. Every once in awhile(not everytime) when I open firefox I catch a glimpse of a dosbox looking think that immediately closes. Also everytime I open firefox it keeps asking me to set it as the default browser even if I click yes.

Is this related to other problems and I'm just being paranoid? Never had these issues before.
 
As far as I knew it was. I downloaded the latest file just in case.
Also ran Microsoft Security Essentials, as I hadn't been able to download it during the infection. It removed a single file, so I'll see if the problem persists. Although it's hard to tell, because as I said it happens sporadically.
