Hey Gallorg,

Try it again. Both those links you mentioned work for me

Hi Crush

Sorry still no luck with combofix, I have even tried different links with same result.
Any ideas, the only thing I can think of is that its already installed somewhere?

cheers

That is what I am leaning towards as well. Let's try removing it and downloading it again

This will clear away any of the files and folders that were created by ComboFix.

Go to :
Start > Run then copy and paste the following highlighted text below and click OK.

When ComboFix receives such an instruction, it will do the following:

a) Deletes the following files/folders:
* ComboFix.exe
* %system%\swxcacls.exe
* %system%\swsc.exe
* %system%\VFind.exe
* %system%\moveex.exe
* %system%\swreg.exe
* %systemroot%\catchme.exe
* \ComboFix
* \Qoobox
* \VundoFix Backups
* \Deckard
* \_OTMoveIt
* %systemroot%\erdnt\subs
b) Resets the clock settings.
c) Hides file extensions
d) Hides System/Hidden files
e) Clears System Restore cache and create new Restore point

==============================================

Next, lets download ComboFix.exe. This will give me a better view to the files running, those that are hidden, and also those in the registry..Please download from one of these webpages .

* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop


Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right-click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools.

Double-click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.

As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.Recovery Console can be installed from your disc if you have Vista if you wish.

Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.





Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:





Click on Yes to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the log in your reply.

Hi Crush

Its not having that either

message saying "Windows cannot find combofix", make sure you spelt name correctly etc

Would it make a difference if you sent me the file via msn?

Hey Gallorg,

No joy with ComboFix /u hmm?

That means ComboFix is not on the system. Thus, you shouldn't be getting that error.

Let me get a coworker to take a look at this. It's got me stumped.

Hi Crush

Thanks for your time on this, i do appreciate it

cheers
