that the OP has gone to

http://www.combofixdownload.com/?gclid=CIG...CFVRM5QodagoX_w

to take on ComboFix

BUT when I look IN that link it does go TO STOPzilla

NOTE: ComboFix is more effective with the use of STOPzilla. Both programs should be used together for a more complete protection of your system.


Might this warrant investigation OR is this already 'known' in Malware 'circles'... and by sUBs???
