Hello, I'm glad to hear you got things sorted out yourself, however, I want to caution you not to run Combofix unsupervised, just to avoid this kind of problem.

Would you have been running this instructed by someone trained to use Combofix, you would have been able to recover the application without a system restore.

To report this, I would need to see the exact file/folder names of what was deleted.
regards, Elise

Hi, I removed the logs, since they are not allowed in this forum. This is indeed a false positive detection. I will notify the developer with a copy of the detection.

See here for information about the service that combofix deleted: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/h....sys-24605.html

I am not sure how this is related to your volume problems, but it seems to be a legit service.

Hi, this detection ought to be fixed in a short while. :thumbsup:

As a side note, for everyone who is reading this, it really is not recommended to run Combofix unless trained to use it or instructed by someone who is.
The reason is that Combofix is a very powerful tool and sometimes things may go wrong, causing issues like the one addressed in this topic, or even worse, causing serious problems like your computer no longer booting successfully.
If such a thing happens for example when getting help in a malware removal forum, the helper who instructed you to run Combofix, will be able to help you recover the system.
regards, Elise

Yes I can confirm as many times I run combofix in my work
1% of the runs get wrong like: cannot log in to user account, windows ended with blue screen, corrupted/disabled network
everything deleted from desktop, windows not genuine message(because combofix delete windows crack) and so on ...
