Forum Rules

When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix log. ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.

To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.

My computer is sending e-mails from my MSN account to several people on my favorites list that I didn't write...theres a link included in these e-mails for meds - not sure what to do about this - ran Malbytes anti-malware - still happening. Tried to run Combo-Fix but Combo-Fix wouldn't run because it said I needed to uninstall AVG - tried to uninstall AVG but unsuccessful - got error message saying access denied when trying to create registry key! aargh!!! Just out of curiosity I tried to uninstall AVG on my other computer and got the same error message. Any clues as to what's going on and what to do about it?

Thanks!
