hi,,,, if your not a security expert then do not run combofix,,,,
if you feel you have an infection then please post in the security section in the "am i infected" forum,,, in the wrong hands combofix can make a brick of your pc in real quick time,,, sorry if this sounds a bit strong but i have seen it go wrong very quickly.
good luck.
